Why 4 Bloomberg engineers wrote another C++ book

Tech At Bloomberg

From the article:

But why do we need yet another C++ book? After all, one of the book’s principal authors, John Lakos, has already written two. And why now? Why Bloomberg? Who is this for? But first, why modern C++? [...] The authors limited the book to features with which they have accumulated more than five years of experience. The current edition is an authoritative summary of C++11 and C++14 features, and future editions are planned to cover C++17 and C++20.
