"C++ inventor Bjarne Stroustrup talked to DevClass on how to write 
modern C++, the problem with trying to replace the language, AI risks, 
and why having multiple compilers with slightly different 
implementations is actually a good thing."

"Despite the name of his session, Stroustrup is not focused on upcoming 
features in C++ 26 (the next major version) such as reflection and 
contracts. “The language is not just the last features that were put 
into it,” he says. “To write contemporary C++ you have to use a 
combination of features from the earliest days to modern days … my main 
point is not that there are some neat new features that you should 
absolutely use. It’s that you should use the language as it is now. It’s 
a more coherent whole, it’s more efficient, it’s more expressive, it’s 
safer.”"
