The author of the article also sounds like the sort of individual or clique who derail Stack Overflow posts because they feel the premise of the question is wrong (leaving both the original asker and any later reader with their actual problem still unsolved).
Imagine for a moment what SO's signal:noise ratio would look like if people didn't set some sort of bar for quality?

(Veering a bit off-topic, forgive me.) Is there any non-proprietary Ada/SPARK implementation? I've heard some good things about Ada/SPARK, but DDG hasn't been much help in finding out if there's any non-proprietary implementation of SPARK of decent quality.
> Is there any non-proprietary Ada/SPARK implementation? Yes, it's now available as part of GNAT. The integration in GNAT Studio is good and lets you prove a single line or entire file in the IDE. I mostly write Ada for my projects and have only dabbled in SPARK. It's super interesting, but also ridiculously hard. I don't have any formal training in this, but to me, I found it at least as on par with C++ template met…
You're not special or important, get over yourself.
I'm not sure how serious this is, TBH? I mean, Rust does have macro syntax that supports all of these things (as seen e.g. in println!() and format!() ), and there are pretty solid engineering reasons to avoid those features within the basic workings of the language. I'm pretty sure most Rustaceans would argue that Rust is quite probably Doing the Right Thing here.
I met Izzy a few times at cppcon and always came away impressed. I have basically the same thoughts about the c++ community -- it burns people out and it's filled with a ton of negativity and ego and it's very hard to get anything done. While I was at Google I spent some time trying to push for some sort of codes of conduct after a colleague of mine had a reasonable proposal ripped to shreds in email groups with all…
You do not need a code of conduct for complaining about a sexist remark inside a corporation. CoCs ruin projects, create a stifled atmosphere of hate and distrust and it is always the wrong people who obtain power. Persons who are vocally against CoCs can very well be on your side regarding sexist remarks. Personal attacks are difficult to quantify. Often they are a last resort for shutting up someone who thinks they…

C++ is so pervasive and ubiquitous that there is no "C++ community" per se. It just reflects the whole world.
