THE TWO FACTIONS OF C++

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The C++ community is divided into two camps: those who embrace modern practices and tooling, and those who are reliant on legacy code and lacking modern infrastructure. This is due to the C++ committee's prioritization of backward compatibility. Major tech companies like Google are increasingly turning to Rust due to C++'s slow evolution and inability to address safety concerns alongside warnings from US government agencies about memory-unsafe languages.
