Learn Modern C++
I have not done a "desktop" program in 25+ years and never using C++ (or C), since then I'm mostly a web developer (PHP,Elixir, JS, Kotlin etc).
I'm currently doing a C++ audio plugin with the Juce framework.
This website has been a good resource, alongside https://www.learncpp.com
But I was actually close to give up before using those two things:
- https://github.com/nlohmann/json : my plugin use a json api backend and the Juce json implementation is atrocious (apparently because of being born in previous c++ version), but this library is GREAT.
- ChatGPT 4. I'm not sure I would have "succeeded" without it, at least not in a reasonable time frame. ChatGPT 3.5 is slow and does not give good results for my use case but 4 is impressive. And I use in a very dumb way, just posing question in the web UI. I probably could have it directly in MSVC?
Also I must say, for all its flaws, I have a renewed appreciation for doing UI on the web ;)

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
https://github.com/nlohmann/json works well for me

It is either a clever technique or a sad failure
Here is one popular C++ library (nlohmann/json) removing its use.

How to compile project to separate files to prevent having single large executable as a result?
Before going into binary serialization I suggest you to get comfortable with serialization to text. You can try to write your data to text files and read them in again. Then after you get an idea of how this works you can try to use a library that writes to XML or json, e.g. nlohmann json
- What are some ways I can serialize objects?

C++ that allows tracking peer to peer multimedia streaming connections using a Flat File - NOT MySql
Download the single header file json.hpp from https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases and place it in your project directory or an include directory.

What's fun is, because everything is decided in papers, we can find out why! https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/884
Accepted paper here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p20...
> The proposed std::print function improves usability, avoids allocating a temporary std::string object and calling operator<< which performs formatted I/O on text that is already formatted. The number of function calls is reduced to one which, together with std::vformat-like type erasure, results in much smaller binary code (see § 13 Binary code).
Additionally,
> Another problem is formatting of Unicode text:
> std::cout << "Привет, κόσμος!";
> If the source and execution encoding is UTF-8 this will produce the expected output on most GNU/Linux and macOS systems. Unfortunately on Windows it is almost guaranteed to produce mojibake despite the fact that the system is fully capable of printing Unicode

C++ Papercuts
Bringing editions to C++ failed, and I am not aware of anyone trying to tackle the issues https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/631
(I could be wrong though! I follow the committee more than you may guess, but not as much as to think I know everything about what's going on.)

Argonne National Lab is attempting to replicate LK-99
GitHub would not be relevant in this respect because:
* It's owned by a (single) commercial corporation, Microsoft.
* There is censorship both by content and in some respects by country of origin.
* The code is closed.
but otherwise it's an interesting idea.
The C++ standardization committee uses GitHub to track papers submitted to them, see:

C++23: The Next C++ Standard
There was no non-approval. The facility needs more work, and the authors (and the committee) were focusing on getting print/format done first. I hope that the paper will be worked on again in the future. We will be happy to review it once there is a revision (see github for history)
