To do a comeback... it should have been gone first.
VB is like mosquitos, you might not see them, but when you relax and think you are safe... plof, a new bite in your XXX starts itching like hell.

The results of NASA's tests on the 'impossible' EM Drive have been leaked, and they reveal that the controversial propulsion system really does work, and is capable of generating impressive thrust in a vacuum, even after error measurements have been accounted for.

This means we need to update our "understanding" of physics. It could be the key to everything.

C++17 gives us std::variant<> which allows for a new form of stack-based runtime polymorphism. C++ is now stealing language ideas from VB6?

C++ is losing it's C++ness. Instead of a handful of powerful tools kept together by the strong minds of developers it's becoming a jungle of semi-useful scraps kept together by the fact that it has a good history.

Easy solution: simply don't use the new features. Then, it's just the same as the old c++

Yes, of course  some features are pretty nice though. When I will be able to switch from VS6 (yes, the 1998 one), and to do so I would have to rewrite a custom addin plus the brain of my boss, I will discover a whole new world of functionality. Including a functional STL...

That's what I said in 2010 when C++11 (C++0x at the time) was hitting the big time. Three years later, I was working on a project which suddenly had to be compiled in VS 2008 and 2010. I was quite surprised at how much C++11 I'd adopted. Interestingly, the same thing happened with C++14 and C++1z (C++17), though in the latter two, finding workarounds proved a whole lot more painful (constexpr, type_traits, range based loops and static_assert are so useful, not to mention lambdas, thread, filesystem and even auto [makes dealing with iterators so much easier].)

I started working in 2006, a decade ago. Such milestone inspired me to look back and point at the mistakes I did, and the kind of advice I wished someone from the profession had told me. "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes."

It takes ten years to make 10 years of experience. There's no other way.

As an 11 or 12 year old, it was abundantly clear that people of my grandparents' generation were happier and more relaxed than those of my parents. From that point onwards, I've had just the same philosophy towards all things in life I approach. Find someone more skilled and emulate, then become, that which I value.
