I know I should stop at some point but… Sunken cost fallacy at work. #duolingo
Ahh, you thought you could defeat me, calendar, but I finally caught up! #duolingo #languagelearning

I once saw a project from someone who used PHP to preprocess their C++ code and some of it was more palpable than this.

Side note: I’d never thought I’d see someone use `ob_get_clean()` to output C++ code in my life. I still liked it because it was a novel (and still stupid) idea.

Gotta love how C++ is gradually turning into a monster worse than #javascript. While I really like parts of the new #metaprogramming proposal, I think we may have strayed too far?

Just give us C++ compilers that can run embedded scripts (in any scripting language) with access to a C++ reflection API instead of this mess. That splicing operator looks like something Kafka would write on his debut at GSoC. Isn’t the purpose of this proposal to provide a clean alternative to the preprocessor? 🤔

Farewell, #reddit. You were great until you weren’t. The only thing I’ll ever miss about you is r/hfy but sometimes you lose some I guess.
