My (Herb Sutter's) C++ Now 2023 talk is online: “A TypeScript for C++”

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • carbon-lang

    Carbon Language's main repository: documents, design, implementation, and related tools. (NOTE: Carbon Language is experimental; see README)

  • Another interesting C++ successor language:

  • CPM.cmake

    📦 CMake's missing package manager. A small CMake script for setup-free, cross-platform, reproducible dependency management.

  • This is true for almost all projects but things are getting better. I use CPM for a couple of years now and get the experience desired

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • circle

    The compiler is available for download. Get it!

  • 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.

    This is the only one with the syntax based on C++, incrementally changing the features via #pragma settings.
