A comment on C++ : if constexpr isn't broken. Parent comment
And while the rest of the world knew how to find a file size... how long was it before C++ cleaned that very very simple corner up?
And if you look under the hood at the implementation of std::conditional.... I feel ill.
The thing I like about Alexandrescu is he invented this meta programming stuff... super super super clever magic...
...and then backed away saying it shouldn't have to be so hard, we shouldn't need magic to program.
