alt Hacker NewsAs a developer who doesn't really write C++ code I'm inclined to agree, but I think Herb Sutter's "syntax 2" project might provide a nice way out of that mess eventually.
I played around with cppfront over Christmas and it was a lot more ergonomic than my distant memories of C++11, which I don't even have negative memories of per se.
That isn't going anywhere official.
It is no different from any other language that compiles via C or C++ code generation, it got sold a bit differently due to his former position at WG21.
