Lambda functions and closures added to C++

Re:Lambda functions and closures added to C++ by cheponis on Sunday March 30, 2008 @08:00AM (#150046)

Would the person who down-modded me please drop me email to [email protected] and explain, in detail, WHY they did this? Presumably, the "in-crowd" who can downmod is telling me that, somehow, my question should NOT be on hacker news. Or something. I'm terribly perplexed. Thank you for your response (if, indeed, you are man enough to respond!)

I didn't downmod you, but I imagine someone had a problem with the question "Does anybody use C++ anymore?". Around here, probably not that many, but there is both a mountain of legacy code, and a good many domains where it's still appropriate (game development being a big one).

And, I guess, even more domains where it's not still appropriate, but where it's still used anyway. :)

Thanks - very much. It is an honest question - if this is a "community", wouldn't you think community members would give me the benefit of the doubt? I have never seen C++ used in my entire career. I'm MIT 6-3A '76 - maybe I'm sheltered in only hanging out with excellent programmers.

(aside: the gutless wonders who downvoted my original question did not respond to me directly at [email protected] - I suppose those folks are having their teenage fun trying to destroy this community? I have a proposal: whenever any of the "anointed " members of this community downmod anybody, they should be <b>required</b> to provide to the original poster a) their EMAIL ADDRESS so that the poster could respond, and b) their REASON for their action. In addition, I believe that NOBODY should be allowed more downmodding than upmodding - that is, you have to have "upmod points" before you're allowed to downmod - even if you are a Chosen One in the Secret Handshake Society of the YC Cult.)

You might want to toughen up a little bit before you open your mouth on the internet. Seriously, people are going to disagree from you from time to time.

They would be, of course, wrong. ;-)
