      Aras, do it! It’s very unfortunate for new programmers coming into C++ to have the impression that they should actually use these standard library abominations in engineering practice.

      One of these days, somebody is going to just have to fork C99, add a few sensible things, and admit that most of the last 20 years of C++ was a mistake.

      It’s getting pretty ridiculous and the fact that so many experienced people are complaining should be a wakeup call. How about forking C++ instead and start deleting things? Starting w STL, all backward compatible stuff and focus on the good things...

      I am aware that this is “easier said than done”. I personally never had to work on old C++ code bases with obscure compilers in odd places. But I would like to understand a bit more about what all the backwards compat stuff is really there for in the real world.

      Also it seems most of the complains about the language come from it being presented alongside the aesthetically unpleasing style of STL. How much better would everything be with a redesigned standard lib? Difficult to fathom without doing it.

      @abductee_org and I always have that conversation and his firm choice is Ultimate++ and its “Core” library as an alternative standard library. I wonder what that would look like if made by experienced engine devs.

      I like the idea of forking and pruning C++, refactoring with the benefit of hindsight. That’s probably the only way to fully fix the legacy mess around macros, name mangling, library paradigm, separate compilation of templates. Maybe even a context free syntax.

          I like the idea of a new language that compiles down to C99. Retain the benefits of existing tooling and perhaps open the door to more sophisticated high-level optimizations. Bonus if language could replace need for macros/scripting and allow compiletime/runtime interpretation

          While you all appear to agree you don't like where C++ is going, I very much doubt you could all agree on what to change about it :)

          Main issue doing this is tooling IMO. We cannot fork the MS compiler. If we fork clang, we loose most of Visual Studio. A company like for instance Google would just make a new language that winds up with years catching up to good tooling around it.

          Good riddance (to Visual Studio) ;) VSCode is easy enough to extend that it can be a much better integrated game programming/debugging environment than VS could ever be. The official C/C++ Extension debugger is kinda rubbish, but at least other debuggers can be plugged in.

          well: a) even the llvm guys have their own implementation. b) the UltimatePP version is just more readable and ~ 4x faster https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$vsstd$en-us.html …

          I love the Unreal coding standard myself and think UE4 is a marvel of engineering that does many things right so I'd definitely want Epic contributing to a lean/mean C++. Some UE4 things are a bit awkward, e.g "InParamName" for func inputs: better to ban variable name shadowing.
