From another thread I realized that it's now time to rename C++ to "Templates with C". It started out as "C with Classes" then "C++", and now "Templates with C". Before long it's going to become "Templates without C", then it'll just be "Templates, B$tch".
A string constant in the "Templates without C" language:
std::char<std::char::H>(std::char<std::char::e>(std::char<std::char::l>(std::char<std::char::p>)))

C programmers just do it all with macros. and they like it.
|

... just yesterday was looking at some code, forget what it was for but thought to myself:
if only c# had paramterised macros with conditional compilation, that would be perfect here.
sigh, many years on still miss em.

With care, one can pass C# through a standard C pre-processor. I do all the time.

The downside of C/C++ macros is that there is no specific syntax to invoke them. So they can just randomly rename things in your code because you happened to name something the same as some macro that you never even knew existed.
I'm sure most C++ programmers have had some scenario, if they are interacting with system APIs, where they get an error saying that XYZ doesn't exist but you don't have anything in your entire code base named XYZ. And it turns out there's a macro that translates ABC to XYZ, and you named something ABC.

Back to C. ASAP. No template template parameters. No traits. No SFINAE and RAII. Just C, please!

I wouldn't go that far. You don't have any to use that stuff while still getting a lot of benefits from C++ over C. My system has a fairly minimal set of templates, just where they really add something important. RAII (though I think the concept is much broader and call them Janitors) I use a lot. They are one of the best things about C++. I have janitors for lots of things, not just allocating and deleting things, but setting or changing things on a scoped basis and such.

LOL!!! Major fail on the part of the producers ...
- they spray the vines with pesticides (and/orevery other *cides they can find... ) That does not seems like a Picard things to do, he looks to be a non intervention kind of wine producer.
- They put Bourgogne wine in a Bordeaux type of bottle !!!
I'd rather be phishing!

I noticed that as well, but then remember these are Muricans writing this.

This takes place over 400 years in the future. Has not a single wine bottle changed at all over the last 400 years?
