What!? constexpr is one of the best additions to C++ ever since. And I do like auto even though I get why some folks can’t stand it.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with constexpr? It’s vastly preferable to macros due to type safety, and const due to compile-time optimization.
I don’t get it either. OP might be angry at compile time (Couldn’t be worse than rust)
Rust doesn’t allow type inference in function signatures, c++ does with auto. IIRC, they recommended against using it, because of -you guessed it- compile time.
Yeah, Rust already has major compile time issues.
TBH I thought it was for refactoring type safety. Making sure that the type is understood and not ready to just change wildly accidentally.
I thought that was part of the point - simplifying refactoring.
Not fair to compare it to the very immature Rust.
I do love rust. But I do like making fun of it too.
Although I don’t see how rust is immature? Unless I missed the joke?
It’s very young for a programming language, and is still rapidly evolving.
