Yeah, and no mention about boost::async, which is in Boost, ie almost standard.

You mean LOC vs another framework? That would be the only relevant metric in this context.

#5A lot of people state that Python/PHP/Ruby/Javascript on the dynamic language side and Java and other JVM languages on the statically typed side and much quicker to develop than C++, but being a very experienced Java programmer and a decent Javascript programmer I find that I can program just as fast with C++ as long as you use the right choices of libraries and use C++11 or greater. With libraries like Boost, fbfolly, wangle, etc. I find it can be just as quick to develop C++ code as with other languages. I think too many people think C++ is a huge investment above other languages due to past experience, but I feel that it is just not true anymore. Thanks for this post, I think it shows just how quick it is to write performant modern C++, when you stand on the shoulders of other libraries. Just like the other languages.

Modern C++ is indeed pretty productive. It's the tooling and compile times that hold it back.

Do you have any pointers to learn modern C++?

Tooling is getting better, CMake is awesome.
Modules would reduce compile times significantly but it seems C++17 won't include them, so we'd have to wait a bit longer.
