Thanks to std::format, text formatting becomes in C++20 as easy as in Python. What? No sprintf?
If it was good enough for grand-pappy...

That may be an improvement over what was there before, but after embracing C#'s string interpolation, it still looks clunky as hell. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You can get close to the C# string interpolation using the stream output operator...
cout << "foo " << someInt << " bar " << someObject << ...

The problem with both solutions (C++ stream output and C# string interpolation) is that they are of limited use for internationalization. For example, in English you would say:
3 times 5 is 15
What do you do in a language in which you must say
15 is the result of 3 times 5
C# has the formatted string ({0}, {1}, ... specifiers). C++20 has the std::format method.

Well, if you need internationalization then something like numbered format string is need. Both C# String.Format and C++ std::format provide that.

Applications need to go global, but language support comes at a cost. For one thing, supporting multiple languages demands additional testing rigor. Sometimes you have to support both the UK and US?

A decent craftsman, though, knows to spend money on good tools.
I mean seriously, they ran out of rows on an Excel spreadsheet. Muppets.

In this article we’ll explore how some common expressions can be rewritten with these keywords and how they improve the pattern matching syntax. Because ! was too hard to write?
More syntactic sugar to rot your teeth.

If they added the is to C++, I'd actually support that without the and and or. Retyping the variable each time is tedious.

Microsoft is rebranding its Bing search engine to Microsoft Bing today as part of a rebranding effort. That's probably the change that people were waiting for before using it
And look at that logo! W000t!

Is it just me, or does that logo/icon look like a pretentious snob pointing at themselves while bragging about their supposed 'greatness'? Yes, I know arms can't come out of the front your your chest, but it is still the impression I got. (Maybe it is just my own preconception because every time I've tried to use it, I've given up because of its worthlessness.)
