Here’s a brief history of the proposal aka “what took you so long?”...

Expressiveness, Nullable Types, and Composition (Part 1)

How do you do it?

Expressiveness, Nullable Types, and Composition (Part 1)

by Rafael Varago

From the article:

We’re software developers, our mission is to provide software that solves problems. And in its essence, writing software is all about composition.

We have a big problem to solve, so we break it up into smaller pieces that can be more easily comprehended, and then we compose these smaller pieces together into working software...

The Regular Expression Library--Rainer Grimm

A quick introduction.

The Regular Expression Library

From the article:

My original plan was it to write about the rules of the C++ Core Guidelines to the regex and chrono library, but besides the subsection title, there is no content available. I already wrote a few posts about time functionality. So I'm done. Today, I fill the gap and write about the regex library.

by Viktor Kirilov

From the article:

What truly sets doctest apart is the ability to use it alongside your production code. This is made possible because of 5 main properties:

Going a step further – doctest can even be used as a general-purpose assert library within the production code itself - outside of a testing context!

Here is a direct question/answer thread of a user interested in mixing production code and tests.

A new technology for C++ -- Erkam Murat Bozkurt

In this article, a new programming technology for C++ has been introduced.

A new technology for C++ and its application to the multithreading

by Erkam Murat Bozkurt

From the article:

 This technology acts as a separate intelligent actor simplifying software development process. In fact, this technology is a new meta-programming system which builds application specific libraries for its users. The tools that are built on the library construction process collect status information from the process and act as autonomous process management systems. This new programming technology may offer a good alternative for interpreters that are used on high level languages.
