Meanwhile, in C++14:

    auto min = [] (auto a, auto b) { return a < b ? a : b; };

Meanwhile, in Haskell:

    min x y = Data.Bool.bool x y (x > y)
Although considering what the article was talking about, doing stuff like this only makes you sound like an ass.

I have come to really dislike people who think it's a good idea to define macros such as min, max, major and minor in system headers.
