Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉Jan 24, 2023

Sean Baxter not only wrote his own C++ compiler, but he authored this magnificent vision paper for the future of C++ that it moved me to reconsider my views on the safety of the language and its use future projects.

Seldom a man of my age and opinions can change his mind over something so fundamental.

@Migueldeicaza This is both full of really important ideas, and full of the blustery false certitude (“These are content-free statements”) that accompanies projects that are making a play for users with strength of personality over strength of engineering (cf Perl). Which is sad, because AFAICT there is strength of engineering aplenty here.
