Fundation of C++ language

I did not insist on purity of the current fashionable style…
at the time I was rather annoyed and purity is for nazis.
I don’t claim to know how everybody wants to write their code and I get rather annoyed when somebody comes in and think they know…
and I know they don’t! - Bjarne Stroustrup

  • What you don’t use, you don’t pay for
  • What you do use, you couldn’t hand-code any better

# Module

  • are not transitive (only what is exported is imported vs full content of #include)
  • import are commutative
  • lead to faster compilation in general (with potential huge gain)

# Error handling

Error handling is not an absolute, there are many alternatives… (but people get emotional on that)

# Coroutines
