We should all fight this, yes. But we have other things to do, I guess. Idle hands, on the other hand, have way too much time to fiddle with the standard, obviously. And that, my friends is the story of C++ today, I'm afraid.

A simple way is for senior programmers and other technology leaders to, regularly, speak up against this "modern C++" and C++ overuse, to positively influence current and next generation of programmers into a healthy programming culture. (And we can do that right here, right now)

It’s tiring though, to explain the same things over and over again, and for people who vastly outnumber you. And it’s hard to make them trust you, since what you’re saying goes against everything they have learned in school

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.

While it’s not a fork of C99, maybe check out Odin? http://odin.handmade.network it was born out of
@TheGingerBill frustration with C and C++ and I personally think it’s a joy to program in compared to those 21 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
A new programming language specified through a serious of YouTube videos! Argh!

Yeah most demos had been through videos atm as it’s still wip and the spec technically isn’t written. Here is some text for looking at it insteadhttps://odin.handmade.network/wiki/3329-odin_tutorial …
