C++20 Improved the For-Loop Syntax

Re:C++20 Improved the For-Loop Syntax by WalterBright on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @01:37PM (#48924383)

If you prefer writing:

    for (auto&& [i, it] : vec | std::views::enumerate)
        println ("{}:{}", ++i, it);

instead of:

    foreach (i, s; vec)
        writeln(i, ": ", s);

well, what can I say?

We may first need to go over what "elegant" means I guess. :)

There is elegant when writing code by hand, and when reviewing code by AI agents.

I prefer to use the option with better market share.

I am not counting characters, especially when AI completes typing for me.
