The new standard is upon us and it'll be massive. It indeed looks like another C++11. If used it'll feel like a very different language.
A brief history of word processor formats and how Markdown came to prevail...
Nice little quality of life improvements coming to std::span in C++26.
There is indeed a path for better support for WebAssembly on the Web platform. Let's just hope it doesn't take a decade to get there.
Nice retelling of the story behind WebAssembly.
Looks like an interesting tool to follow availability of C++ features in compilers.
Maybe we can expect improvements in how HTTP rate limiting is handled?
This is a welcome development at the W3C. Let's hope this working group will bring good things and stewardship for the related standards.
The HDMI Forum is still a bad actor for Free Software... They just don't want open source drivers to exist.
Interesting work from Apple and Google to have better hardening in libc++. It's nice to see it ripples through the upcoming C++26 standard as well.
Nice little website advocating for more use of the XDG base directory specification. This is still needed to push for it indeed.
OK the coming compile time reflection features coming with C++26 are definitely mind blowing. It really opens the door toward a very different evolutionary path for C++. Many things can be done from libraries now and producing bindings to other languages shall become much simpler to.
Now it's once again about adding more to the language... This makes the question of how to extract a safer and leaner subset even more important. It's also asking for more tooling to support it, like the constexpr debugger mentioned during the questions.
Yes, this one feature in the standard doesn't seem to reap much benefits... It's sad that it got there.
Excellent news on the PNG standard front!
OK... This is weird and funny. I definitely like the idea of an actor reading this important RFC aloud.
Looks like the protocols landscape for writing LLM based agents will turn into a mess.
I have a hard time seeing browser makers truly drop third party cookies without pushing a worse replacement first... Still, it's nice to see the W3C take a stand in the matter.
Nice post about the practical impacts of Postel's law. It's especially problematic in the case of Open Source software. Companies producing proprietary software even use that to their advantage.
This could be a big improvement for C. We'll see how far this goes.
A nice glimpse into the maze of the escape codes on the terminal.
