CppCoreGuidelines VS adventofcode

You need to talk to Bjarne and Herb...

"C++ Core Guidelines" - https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines

In addition to the other comments -

TypeScript deliberately takes a "good enough" approach to improving JavaScript, instead of designing an ideal but incompatible approach. For example, its handling of [function parameter bivariance](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...) is unsound but works much better with the existing JavaScript ecosystem. By contrast, a more academic functional programming language would guarantee a sound type system but would be a huge shift from JavaScript.

By analogy, Herb Sutter is arguing that something like the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines), with tooling help in this new Cpp2 syntax, can bring real improvements to safety. Something like Rust's borrow checker would bring much stricter guarantees, backed by academic research and careful design, but would be incompatible and a huge adjustment.

Take a look at Effective Modern c++ by Scott Meyers and the ISO c++ core guidelines. These resources are great for learning how to write better, more modern C++. I don't think it would be hard to grasp if you're already familiar with the language, just make sure to actually write some code which makes use of this stuff, otherwise it's easy to forget.

Look to the C++ Core Guidelines. It's not perfect, it has some flaws, including some sabotaging advice apparently adopted for political reasons. But at least it has some C++ authorities (Bjarne and Herb) as authors.

My Scala solution – to be cleaned up.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! Day 18 was pretty straightforward, though it presents some interesting choices in how to represent the data -- choices I'm not sure I made optimally.

My Scala solution.

And I've solved all of the Advent of Code problems so far this year, which is utterly unimportant but still brings me joy.

If you'd enjoy some coding challenges, advent of code (https://adventofcode.com/) is currently going on.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! In Day 17 we got to (sort of) play Tetris. Five different Tetris-like shapes fall into a pit, moved left or right on each step according to the input. The first task is to see how high this stack will grow after 2022 blocks have been dropped in.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! Day 16 was... how to put this?
