MSVC's stdlib is still a headache, just see the /std flag[1] which only appeared in msvc2017: you can either have C++14 with some C++17 features, or C++ "latest" which means 17 and missing features.

EDIT: just noticed the article says it was also added to 2013, but my 2015 doesn't support it so idk.

I can conceive PowerShell being good as a scripting language, but as a day to day terminal? That would my hell. And the fact that they are forcing so much on it in win10 doesn't help.

They do produce some great things sometimes, I agree, it just doesn't average out as positive IMO.

Perhaps it should be renamed to Power Hell?
