I've built a text adventure game engine on top of the C++ Standard. Why? I have no idea. But it's a learning tool with quests and time travel and artifacts and NPC's and XP and ... well, you just have to check it out!

The problem with conspiracy theories is that they produce so much noise that real conspiracies go undetected.

We shall not use interpreted languages on servers anymore, you're going to be DDoSed, and it's okay.
Quick Tip: if you're bottleneck is not I/O (for example it's CPU or RAM), you probably in need of a compiled programming language with no runtime.

You can learn C in a few weeks. Do it.
Most people do not become full-time C programmers, and that's a good thing... But C is still in the top 5 most used programming languages and it has been the case for the last 40 years. It is hard to beat as a track record.
Let us say you use Python. Python is arguably the most popular programming language today, and with good reasons. Can you guess how most people extend Python when performance is critical? C extensions. Fairly easy to write, low overhead.
Let us say you decide to learn Go next. I love Go. Go is basically C with garbage collection and stricter typing. Very similar syntax. If you know C, learning Go takes a day or so. And knowing C will make you a better Go programmer.
Let us say you decide to learn Swift. Swift interoperates with C "perfectly" which makes it trivial to call standard Linux libraries without overhead from Swift.
Suppose you decide to learn C++... C++ is almost a superset of C. And the most commonly used part of C++ in fields such as gaming is the C subset.
And so forth.

I've recently lost my largest source of income allowing to work on Dear ImGui. It's worrying but not short-term critical yet, as in the last year I've pushed hard to get other teams on board, contributing via various sponsoring/support contracts, getting test engine licenses...

PSA: It's 2024
It's been 13 years since C++11 was released.
It was 13 years from C++98 to C++11.
If you still feel like you cannot "trust these modern features of C++" that's 100% on you.

The 17th Edition of Professional CMake: A Practical Guide is now available. It has been updated for the CMake 3.28 release. The main highlights are support for C++20 modules and XCFrameworks.
The Language Requirements chapter also got a bit of an overhaul. The updated advice around setting language standards and whether compiler extensions are enabled will be especially important if you're going to be using C++20 modules!

I want to make Computer Science topics as distilled and accessible as possible.
So I've started a new series with that specific goal: youtu.be/c447uYCePAo
These will air in parallel with my C++ Weekly episodes on the same channel.
