#3Please rename the submission’s title.
The above sentence was mentioned in the article (without supporting evidence), and is not the focus of the article.
Tldr of article; abi was chosen not to be broken, which is costing performance. Author argues if std library isn’t optimized, alternatives will keep being developed, and std will be considered dead.

#5This seems to be an article about how ABI compatibility makes improving C++ more difficult.
The submission title is currently "It is currently faster to launch PHP to execute a regex than using std:regex", and, while the article makes this claim, it doesn't provide any evidence for this. Maybe it's true, but that's not the point of the article (and I really doubt it's true in most cases--just the overhead of starting a new process and communicating back and forth is significant).
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Submitted title was "it is currently faster to launch PHP to execute a regex than using std::regex" but the submitter has since fixed it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to link to a specific part of an article, though. And in that context I wouldn't really call it editorializing.
URLs make this harder than it should be.

In the case of HN, it’s explicitly against submission guidelines and frowned upon.
