Formatting Text in C++: The Old and the New Ways

Something else to consider is compile time versus runtime validation with formatting libraries, e.g. due to passing the wrong number or type of arguments. The Abseil str_format library does compile time validation for both when possible: https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/format

{fmt} certainly does this too. It works quite nicely with the clangd language server flagging a line as an error until the format string and arguments match.
