I wanted to learn about new C++20 language features and to have a brief summary for all of them on a single page. So, I decided to read all proposals and create this “cheat sheet” that explains and demonstrates each feature. Because you might want a sample before you run away screaming

Still, good to see another big vote for Rust vs. C* (at least for low-level stuff)

Can someone explain what critical problem they are trying to solve by adding this complication?
Although: if (variable is not null) is great in that I can now also confuse my C# with SQL while also being mind bent as I switch between Typescript and C#

That simplicity is bad.
Honestly, if you have to "switch" on the type, it seems to me to be indicative of bad design, though there are definitely times when I've needed to -- weird deserializers that instantiate different types comes to mind.

For sure...
They might not know that that profile is concretely "you" but they probably knew a lot about the person using your devices

Well, I've never given them by phone number. I wasn't that mad.
But I checked anyway because... well, it's data-slurping FB. Happily they don't have my number.
