C++26 adopted senders/receivers (std::execution) as its official concurrency model, with the explicit aim of supporting structured concurrency. See https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc…

Citation needed. You only need LuaJIT if performance is very important, which is not the case for many scripting purposes. I personally use Lua 5.3.

Really? I found it very enjoyable.

I don't know anyone who had to "recover" from being raised by "progressive" parents. Is this actually a thing? What would there be to recover from exactly?

That is actually a great blog post! I wholeheartedly agree with the points they are making.

They actually switched from GLFW. In that case you would naturally pick SDL3 and not SDL2.

It might be standard terminology but to outsiders like me it sounds like an over-the-top parody of corporate speak.

That quote is really funny because it reads like a parody. Next time just use quotation marks and add a link to the source.

I thought the same. Business lingo has really jumped the shark. "story" is already stupid enough, but "epic"? Seriously? :-D

In my understanding, senders/receivers is a more generalized concurrency model, but it has been designed to play well with coroutines.

I'm on Firefox and I don't see serifs. Might be OS dependent as well.
