What Hacker News says?
> Personally I judge code quality by a) Functionality (does it work, is it safe?), b) Readability c) Conciseness d) Performance and e) Extendibility, in this order, and I don't see how these new features in reality help move any of these meaningfully in the right direction. I don't understand... How do these features not address those points? > a) Functionality (does it work, is it safe?) constinit, consteval and al…

HN discussionThe #1 feature I currently want is the ability to do an implicit lambda capture of a structured binding, at least by reference. I appreciate there are interesting corner cases of like, bindings to bitfields: I simply don't need those corner cases solved... if it just supported a handful of the most obvious cases I would be so so so happy, and then they can spend the next decade arguing about how to solve it 99% (whi…
