I can't even imagine the amount of work that goes into producing a specification like this, BUT... I wish there were a reduced price option for individuals. I just can't justify spending USD 200 on getting a copy for myself. I'd love to have a copy so I don't have to rely on second-hand sources like websites and implementation details from STL maintainers on Reddit or Stack Overflow.

Do I really have to pay for a pdf of the standard? (sorry I just don't see anyway else to download the pdf)

You can probably build the drafts from the github repo: https://github.com/cplusplus/draft/tree/c++17

C++17 is a slight disappointment, I hope C++20 will be the real deal - concepts could really be a game changer and move semantics needs more fixes :/.

The reduced price option for individuals is that you just look at the last working draft, which is always published for free for all ISO standards and is almost equivalent to the final product.

The only reason anyone cares about the officially published standard is if you're a compiler vendor who wants to know for sure that your product is standards compliant, which is why the cost for the no-draft versions is what it is.

Yep. You can download the latest working draft from open-std.org though: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/n470...

You can build the pdf yourself from the LaTeX source: https://github.com/cplusplus/draft

Or get the latest public draft from https://wg21.link/standard

Or an html version: http://eelis.net/c++draft/
