    It was emulated using horrible macros: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/8f5e07656e25ec64ec7c843f0.... IIRC some early versions of `std::tuple` did something similar.

    Continuation passing monads form the basis of a perfectly valid and usable software architecture and programming pattern.

    In the case of ostream and operator<<, this pattern reduces the number of intermediate objects that would otherwise be constructed.

    If you object to iostream on religious or stylistic grounds, there's always fmt which is more like Go or Python string interpolation.[0]

    Good catch, thanks! Fixed now. This explains why the difference was kinda low compared to another benchmark: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt?tab=readme-ov-file#compile-tim....

    > This is from C++23, right?

    std::println is, yes.

    > I wonder how available this is within compilers

    https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support says clang, gcc, and msvc all support it, though I don't know how recent those versions are off the top of my head.

    In my understanding, with this specific feature, if you want a polyfill for older compilers, or to use some more cutting-edge features that haven't been standardized yet, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is available to you.
