onelinerizer VS CppCoreGuidelines

Very cool. Also, Chelsea Voss did this in 2016 with Python 2 (https://github.com/csvoss/onelinerizer) and did a great talk about it at PyCon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsUxuz_Rt8g) . She also has try/except working, maybe something similar to her solution would also work in Python 3.

Ahhh, allow me to introduce you to Oneliner-izer. Devs smarter than me laugh at your thinking loops cannot be implemented in a single line without semicolons

lambda would like a word

It’s still possible to have it be a single line in Python!! http://www.onelinerizer.com

Outdated but if you downgrade to python 2 or figure something out from the examples: http://www.onelinerizer.com/

Entire python programs can be converted to a single one-line expression.

And then there's also oneline.py, the mother of Python onelineization.

For a similarly awful idea in python, observe the onelinerizer

No, in fact Chelsea Voss made http://www.onelinerizer.com/ which can convert any Python (2) program into one line (without using eval, compile, exec or semicolons). The approaches used are talked about in this PyCon 2016 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsUxuz_Rt8g

You're welcome.

If you aren't aware of the c++ core guidelines[1] - it should be on your radar.

Also, it might not be a popular opinion, but I think Bjarne's books are just fine.

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.
