The Two Factions of C++ (2024)

Ranked #3 on Hacker News with 36 points and 23 comments.

There seems to be a lot of fighting and arguing over the future of C++.

On Reddit and a certain orange website, definitely, but also surely at the official C++ standard committee meetings. You don’t need to look very far.

EDIT (25-11-2024): Typos and phrasing. Mentioned on HN , r/cpp , lobste.rs .

It looks like we’re in the following situation:

I don’t know about you, but if I were to look at all of this as an outsider , it sure would look as if C++ is basically falling apart , and as if a vast amount of people lost faith in the ability of C++’s committee to somehow stay on top of this. 5

People seem to be looking for other solutions.
