Our great sponsors
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How difficult would it be to make a c++ compiler
Sean Baxter created a front end c++ compiler by himself, using llvm for the back end and the gcc or clang stl. I think it took him a couple of years. https://www.circle-lang.org/. Before this happened I heard a couple of different people claiming that there would never be a totally new compiler as it was too much work.

Toward a TypeScript for C++"
The real Typescript for C++ is Circle.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
Just like Typescript to JavaScript, the syntax is an evolution of what already exists, not a completely different syntax.

Sean Baxter's Circle [1] is arguably the spiritual successor to MOP.

Circle Evolves C++ [video]
Context: https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Note that Circle is not an F/OSS compiler as someone pointed out before. This however doesn't make Circle less relevant, because it is actually a testament to show that C++ could have been much better without the claimed breakage. If Circle does provide a number of desirable features and its compiler can be built by a single person, then why shouldn't the committee do the same?

My (Herb Sutter's) C++ Now 2023 talk is online: “A TypeScript for C++”
From all wannabe C++ replacements candidates, the only language that is really a TypeScript for C++, is Circle.
For whatever reason, Herb Sutter decided to ignore this language on the presentation.
https://www.circle-lang.org/
This is the only one with the syntax based on C++, incrementally changing the features via #pragma settings.

Making C++ Safe Without Borrow Checking, Reference Counting, or Tracing GC
The second someone makes a successor language that seamlessly/directly interops with C++ _AND_ has the level of build/IDE tooling that C++/Rust have, I'm on board.
The closest thing right now is Sean Baxter's "Circle" compiler in "Carbon" mode IMO:
https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/...
Unfortunately, Circle is closed-source and there's no LSP or other tooling to make the authoring experience nice.
- Circle-lang: A feasible, simple, and immediate way for C++ to break out of the rut it's been in. Surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Recurrence-expression is a programmable superset of fold-expression
I read through the whole of https://github.com/seanbaxter/circle/blob/master/new-circle/README.md and man, I'm drooling. Awesome work, kudos.

Dropping support for old C++ standards
Have a look at Circle from Sean Baxter [0]. It's pretty impressive.

How to get wg21 telecom video recording?
https://github.com/cplusplus/LEWG/wiki/2021-Telecons I want to learn some proposal and I found there're some telecons, but when I clicked the URL, it showed that I need to be invited...But how?

C++23: Near The Finish Line
This post only covers what is, and could have been, for consideration in the next two months of time before C++23 is considered feature complete. It doesn't cover proposals that where already discussed. If you look at the linked telecons schedule (https://github.com/cplusplus/LEWG/wiki/2021-Telecons) you'll see that constexpr math was discussed in June. You would need to further search in the papers status list (https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues) to see where each one is at in the road to C++23.

Thoughts on adding 'libraries' as a language concept
On 2021-05-11, hopefully. I haven't gotten confirmation from the authors yet.
What are some alternatives?
raspberry-pi-os - Learning operating system development using Linux kernel and Raspberry Pi
papers - ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG21 paper scheduling and management
dts2hx - Converts TypeScript definition files (d.ts) to haxe externs (.hx) via the TypeScript compiler API
papers
mdspan - Reference implementation of mdspan targeting C++23
stdBLAS - Reference Implementation for stdBLAS
libunifex - Unified Executors
CppCoreGuidelines - The C++ Core Guidelines are a set of tried-and-true guidelines, rules, and best practices about coding in C++
plf_hive - plf::hive is a fork of plf::colony to match the current C++ standards proposal.
meta
plf_colony - An unordered C++ data container providing fast iteration/insertion/erasure while maintaining pointer/iterator validity to non-erased elements regardless of insertions/erasures. Provides higher-performance than std:: library containers for high-modification scenarios with unordered data.
