As someone who writes C++ every day for work, up to version C++20 now, I hate the incoming C++23 even more somehow. The idea of concepts, it just… gets worse and worse. Although structured binding in C++17 did actually help some with the syntax, to be fair.

He should have installed neovim with LSPs for Python/Rust/etc for intellisense and linting to really get her all hot and bothered.

Am I the only one in this thread who uses VSCode + GDB together? The inspection panes and ability to breakpoint and hover over variables to drill down in them is just great, seems like everyone should set up their own c_cpp_properties.json && tasks.json files and give it a try.

How can you tell? Do you think it’s on purpose, or just the result of so much AI art being pumped into the interwebs for the last year?
