Note: on #ConfederateHistoryMonth: just a friendly reminder that confederates committed treason to stupidly attack a country with 3 times their manpower and ALL of the military industry, primarily to defend the right to own, trade, beat and rape other humans.

Once is an anomaly. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. Four times is enough. We've had enough of harassment and coverups. We have failed to make the C++ community safe. It's time for change. Leadership must prioritize safety.

In today's STL maintainer meeting: "Is 'squirrel' an emoji, or is there only 'chipmunk'?"

Every time someone in a meeting says "is everyone happy with" / "do we all want to" and I'm facepalming to the sound of crickets:

In C++23, -\N{ACKNOWLEDGE} != \N{NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGE}. @Cor3ntin, fix this madness!

My draft branch of the Standard Library Modules proposal (import std;) is ready for interested users to try out! I’m running a “bug bash” for the next two weeks:

Hey, I just met you. And this is crazy, but SG9 just forwarded `views::maybe` to LEWG for C++26. @sdowney

People: "Why isn't the compiler open-source?" Me: "We don't want anyone to know we named a function `member_d_pre_init__L_SKIP_MBRINIT`."

VS 2022 17.2 and VS 2019 16.11.14 are now available! Read the announcement by @CoderCasey, MSVC’s STL Completes /std:c++20:

@BarryRevzin ^^^

Tragically, https://t.co/5XiaG0xPgj "ranges::fold" doesn't point out that folding isn't always appropriate. You've got to know when to hold them, and when to fold them.

MSVC compilers on @CompileExplore now support code execution and static analysis!

Had an exciting "Who's on first?" moment while explaining P2168 to my skip manager this morning before finally making it clear that @Cor3ntin has been working on coroutines during quarantine.

With two full weeks to spare!

Just had the most important talk that a man can have with his teenage son: tabs vs. spaces.

"Atomics default to sequential consistency because it's the only [memory ordering] that humans can understand." -- @StephanTLavavej

Probably the biggest thing C++ could do to make the language more powerful is to make functions (not function pointers, *functions* -- including overload sets and function templates) first class citizens of the language. The lack of functional composition in C++ is deadly. #cpp

C++ is a language of many subtitles.

I wrote a short blog post about the first user-visible bits of C++20 Ranges support appearing in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6:

"That would be much simpler and clearer If it wasn't for the INF and NAN cases" - @Wako
