"That would be much simpler and clearer If it wasn't for the INF and NAN cases" - Wako

I wrote a short blog post about the first user-visible bits of C++20 Ranges support appearing in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/initia…

Probably the biggest thing C++ could do to make the language more powerful is to make functions (not function pointers, *functions* -- including overload sets and function templates) first class citizens of the language. The lack of functional composition in C++ is deadly. #cpp

C++ is a language of many subtitles.

Just had the most important talk that a man can have with his teenage son: tabs vs. spaces.

With two full weeks to spare!

Had an exciting "Who's on first?" moment while explaining P2168 to my skip manager this morning before finally making it clear that Corentin Brunel has been working on coroutines during quarantine.

MSVC compilers on @[email protected] now support code execution and static analysis! devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/execut…

VS 2022 17.2 and VS 2019 16.11.14 are now available! Read the announcement by @[email protected] #BLM, MSVC’s STL Completes /std:c++20: devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/msvcs-…

People: "Why isn't the compiler open-source?" Me: "We don't want anyone to know we named a function `member_d_pre_init__L_SKIP_MBRINIT`."

Hey, I just met you. And this is crazy, but SG9 just forwarded `views::maybe` to LEWG for C++26. Steve Downey

My draft branch of the Standard Library Modules proposal (import std;) is ready for interested users to try out! I’m running a “bug bash” for the next two weeks: github.com/StephanTLavave…

In C++23, -\N{ACKNOWLEDGE} != \N{NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE}. Corentin Brunel, fix this madness!

Every time someone in a meeting says "is everyone happy with" / "do we all want to" and I'm facepalming to the sound of crickets:

In today's STL maintainer meeting: "Is 'squirrel' an emoji, or is there only 'chipmunk'?"

Once is an anomaly. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. Four times is enough. We've had enough of harassment and coverups. We have failed to make the C++ community safe. It's time for change. Leadership must prioritize safety.

Note: on #ConfederateHistoryMonth: just a friendly reminder that confederates committed treason to stupidly attack a country with 3 times their manpower and ALL of the military industry, primarily to defend the right to own, trade, beat and rape other humans.
