Does this mean that TypeScript has been deprecated then?

I expect they'll have a series on that shortly. (probably got delayed to cover the latest release)

I certainly hope they've included a new comprehensive framework, to make it easier for the newbies to learn!

 I'm sure they will. But with that many videos, they may have to change frameworks partway through.

Another thing to add to the list of "only because you can, doesn't mean that you should"
At least until now, when someone was not paying attention to traffic whilst playing with the cell phone, you could mostly see it and adecuate yourself to avoid problems with the zombie.

Google Workspace: everything you need to get anything done, now in one place. And they promise not to look over your shoulder (much)
I guess people were getting confused by the "Suite" name?

I wonder if they will give the (some) users enough time to fill it with all what they have before killing it (with all the content of those users inside)

Thanks to std::format, text formatting becomes in C++20 as easy as in Python. What? No sprintf?
If it was good enough for grand-pappy...

That may be an improvement over what was there before, but after embracing C#'s string interpolation, it still looks clunky as hell. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You can get close to the C# string interpolation using the stream output operator...
cout << "foo " << someInt << " bar " << someObject << ...

The problem with both solutions (C++ stream output and C# string interpolation) is that they are of limited use for internationalization. For example, in English you would say:
3 times 5 is 15
What do you do in a language in which you must say
15 is the result of 3 times 5
C# has the formatted string ({0}, {1}, ... specifiers). C++20 has the std::format method.

Well, if you need internationalization then something like numbered format string is need. Both C# String.Format and C++ std::format provide that.

Applications need to go global, but language support comes at a cost. For one thing, supporting multiple languages demands additional testing rigor. Sometimes you have to support both the UK and US?
