What Hacker News says?
The fact that C++ development has been effectively hijacked by the "no ABI breakage, ever"/backwards compatibility at all costs crowd certainly speaks to this. https://herecomesthemoon.net/2024/11/two-factions-of-cpp/ There are a lot of pre-compiled binaries floating about that are depended on by lots of enterprise software whose source code is long gone, and these are effectively locked to x86_64 chips until the co…

HN discussionC++ _has_ been getting safer and safer to write. However: 1. The dangerous footguns haven't gone away 2. There are certain safety problems that simply can't be solved in C++ unless you accept that ABI will be broken and the language won't be backwards compatible. Circle ( https://www.circle-lang.org/site/index.html ) and Carbon ( https://docs.carbon-lang.dev/ ) were both started to address this fundamental issue tha…

HN discussionHelix is the most interesting editor I've seen in a while. Very sane configuration — my config includes just one line to change the default theme to something with more contrast. No "AI" shit pushed down your throat, and it takes the vim idea of applying actions to blocks of code, and swaps them around — you first select the code, and then apply an action to it. So you get visual feedback before doing the action and…

HN discussionSee https://herecomesthemoon.net/2025/06/i-like-helix/ , Helix is a very different experience from neovim, and basically everything works out of the box with no configs or setup required. It's quite impressive how everything just works and how easy onboarding is.

HN discussion> In fact, you could use Nim as a production-ready alternative to the upcoming Carbon language. Nim has fantastic interoperability with C++, supporting templates, constructors, destructors, overloaded operators, etc. However, it does not compile to readable C or C++ code, which is unlike Carbon's goals. Well, that really depends on what the reason for one's interest in Carbon is, which is slightly hinted at by the l…

HN discussionGod's multiple returns is, from someone whose primary language is Go for now, crap. See https://herecomesthemoon.net/2025/03/multiple-return-values-... which goes into detail.
