"C++ inventor Bjarne Stroustrup talked to DevClass on how to write
modern C++, the problem with trying to replace the language, AI risks,
and why having multiple compilers with slightly different
implementations is actually a good thing."
"Despite the name of his session, Stroustrup is not focused on upcoming features in C++ 26 (the next major version) such as reflection and
contracts. “The language is not just the last features that were put
into it,” he says. “To write contemporary C++ you have to use a combination of features from the earliest days to modern days … my main point is not that there are some neat new features that you should
absolutely use. It’s that you should use the language as it is now. It’s
a more coherent whole, it’s more efficient, it’s more expressive, it’s safer.”"
