@zaki_chahboun @meetingcpp Yes there is. You can have Signals/Slots, better containers, UTF-8 strings, CMake, and C++20 with CopperSpice.

@meetingcpp Qt of course there is no way to avoid it 🩵

#CppPollOfToday: Which UI libraries/frameworks do you use for C++? meetingcpp.com/mcpp/survey/?q… #cplusplus #cpp

Someone mentioned C++20 is unusable because the standard now requires 2' Complement. Does he have a point and on what basis is he making this claim? We encourage you to watch our video to find out how this relates to Binary Representation. youtube.com/watch?v=1KeRrZ…

@TifaAuntie You saved my sanity today. I have watched this around ten times so far. Do you offer dance lessons?

We have a new video which discusses Policy Based design and compares it to other styles of programming. Do you know which design pattern policy based programming solves? You might be using policies and maybe you had no idea they had a name. #cplusplus youtube.com/watch?v=23iz4D…

A new C++ video has been uploaded to our YouTube channel. Do you know which part of a declaration is the declarator? How about what can go wrong with multiple variables in one declaration statement? Let us entertain you. #cplusplus youtube.com/watch?v=kmkwBn…

Wanted to let all of our friends know we are safe and sound after this incredible storm. Power has been out for 26 hours so far and it could be another 40 or 50 until it comes back up. Lots of fallen trees and broken power lines. @janwilmans @MaxClerkwell @odinthenerd

@cppnow Here is the link for submissions. cppnow.org/announcements/…

We released a new video which compares Generic and Meta Programming and how they are used in various languages. We also explain the definition of Template Meta Programming and when TMP is actually Reflection. #cplusplus #rustlang #golang youtube.com/watch?v=cgVJVZ…

@_Yulivee_ Thanks, now I understand. We also like smaller dinner parties since you can have a real conversation.

@_Yulivee_ Sorry, did I miss something here? If you need medication how is it of value?

@Iluinrandir @timur_audio This is our main project although there are several other libraries and tools. If anyone wants to help us get CMake working for packaging, please reach out to us.

@copperspice_cpp @timur_audio Are you talking about github.com/copperspice/co… ? or something completly different?

People keep saying that C++ is sorely lacking proper package management. We have conan and vcpkg. I'm curious, what exactly are they missing that C++ developers need? What exactly would need to happen before people can say "package management in C++ is working well"?

@timur_audio @anastasiak2512 @phil_nash Wonderful talk, great presentation! We watched it live on YouTube.

Tomorrow, 12 Dec 2023, I am giving a talk about the current state of Contracts in C++ at the MUC++ End of Year Event: meetup.com/mucplusplus/ev… This will be followed by talks from @anastasiak2512 and @phil_nash. If you're in Munich 🇩🇪 come by and say hi!

@Iluinrandir @timur_audio It would be really complicated to provide MS a special license for the build files to an open source project. We are looking at using CMake directly for packaging.

@copperspice_cpp @timur_audio I mean if you want to be part of the ms public registry that is a hard requirement. However, you can publish your own registry with your own rules. But what you are saying here is that you don't play nice with others ;)

@timur_audio The other problem is we were told to modify the name of our libraries to avoid conflicts with another projects. They believe any given project should be able to link simultaneously with every package they support . 2/2

@timur_audio We looked at vcpkg and discovered too many problems. After a meeting with MS it turned out to be worse. They require licensing rights to alter our distribution files as they see fit. They expected us to test their changes. 1/2

@postpostpostr @wanyeburkett I was not sure if you were a troll. Thanks for letting me know. If and when you want to have a serious adult conversation let me know.

@copperspice_cpp @wanyeburkett your projects reflect everything that is wrong with the current practice of software

@postpostpostr @wanyeburkett May I ask why this is so funny to you? There are a lot of people who teach and help other developers learn a skill. We release YouTube videos on C++ and speak at conferences. He happens to work well one on one which is pretty wonderful.

@wanyeburkett you'll always have the last laugh because he's a "C++ Coach"

@wanyeburkett It is clear you do not know Jan and yet have decided to judge him because he disagrees with you. I do happen to know him and he has fantastic work ethics. Working from home is not something that limits his productivity.

@hniemeye We adore the entire series! Bought a limited edition 58 blu-ray set in July, it shipped two days ago. Includes Eccleston through Whittaker, 13 seasons and the specials. I think we get some toy figures too.

Do you enjoy Dr who? A new special drops today on Disney Plus. I hope that they will acquire the rights to all the episodes and specials. I want to do a complete rewatch 😊

Posted a new video about std::chrono which provides an overview of what functionality was added in C++11, C++17, and C++20. Watch to find out how much of chrono your compiler supports. We were pretty surprised at what we discovered. #cplusplus youtube.com/watch?v=63GKRV…
