Ask Hacker News(HN): Am I the only one that gets lost with acronyms?

Am I the only one loosing a lot of time looking for the correct acronym meaning? Is...

Ask HN: Modern C++ or Rust and why?

It's a simple question still there are many opinions out there. I want to ask this here as it is one of the most active comunities amongst programmers. So if you are a C++ developer who migrated to Rust or viceversa, please tell me what you miss or what you dont miss from your former programming language. Also any links to benchmarking or studies stating one is better than the other would be...

I guess I will deal with that once I start 'mastering' the basics, for the moment anything good that covers C++17 suits me.

It does!

Effective Modern C++ was mentioned here and also is one of the best rated books out there, must buy it.

Thanks ;)

Quite good though it looks a bit orphaned. Saved for the future thanks ;)

I am more of a CLI user I've been using neovim with coc for js, ts, python and even solidity development. I will try first to have things working in my usual dev environment, but thanks for the suggestion I've heard good things about CLion and could probably get a free licence.

Afaik major changes where introduced in C++11 and later on in C++17. I would be happy finding anything that covers up to the C++17 standard.

Thanks for the help, will definitely have a look!

Hi thanks for the recomendation, looks pretty good and complete!

Is there any edition that includes modern standards? (c++17 minimum)

Ask HN: I whant to Learn C++ not Rust!!

I would like to learn C++ and I am looking for good learning resources (books, courses, tutorials, docs...). I would also like some introduction to modern libraries, compilers, latest standards, good practices...yes I know I want to learn everything. Well I am just asking here for good places to start my journey, also any advice other than "learn Rust"? I don't want to learn Rust (not for now...
