Be careful! You are treading on thin ice Hard to see any mention of that author as non-political. Almost like that German guy M**x

I'm well aware that Ayn Rand was a very controversial author. I did not discuss her views on politics, religion, or any other subject.
I fail to see how a short outline of one of the characters in her most well-known book constitutes a political / religious / other debate.

In case the smilies in my message didn’t show it, let me spell it clearly that my reply was in jest. 😀

Accurate description of the character, but it's Ragnar Danneskjold.

That's good to read, because Dagmar is indeed a female name.

Oops. My bad.

It is.
Female that is.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder I suspect, to me its the name of a grandma.

Hey, I totally rocked the eye patch last winter while I was waiting to get my prosthetic eye...

Statistically, they prefer to program in ARRR?

I don't remember where I saw it but that joke reminded me of this:
What's the difference between a casual dress party and a pirate orgy? With one you come as you are, the other you Arrr! as you come.

last week I ordered a used book from Amazon: The Annotated C++ Reference Manual.
I reviewed few topics and felt it is really a great book still.
I wonder if I still need to go through it in my spare time....

Why buy such an old book to read? Most probably some of the contents do not apply to modern C++ syntax and compiler.

You are correct - C++20 departed a lot from Stroustroup's vision, but it is still a good book for learning how he envisioned it would work, and some of the principles he outlines are important even to today's C++ programmers.
I would say that it is still a book well worth reading.

thanks for this great link! I will get one copy of it.

Because there are many C++ environments where it will be a very long time before C++20 is supported, if at all.
Knowing language basics is essential, and this book describes those basics very well indeed.
