david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 21/05/202577.8% of those polled consider memory safety to be either important or essential in their future use of C++. The #1 concern about C++'s future is excessive language complexity, followed by lack of progress on memory safety. This last section is interesting to read in its entirety.isocpp.org Results summary: 2025 Annual C++ Developer Survey "Lite" : Standard C++ 010
david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Conan adoption increased to 23% from 19% where Vcpkg adoption has remained relatively stable at 20% (from 19%). Bazel usage has dropped to 5.7% from 10% and CMake adoption has increased slightly (84.2% from 83.2%).🧵 110
david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 21/05/2025My observations on the isocpp survey results: 7.9% of respondents said "Interop with memory-safe languages (e.g., Rust, Go, C#, Java)" is a tool relied on for managing code safety in C++. 20% of respondents said Rust is used in their current and recent projects, up from 18.37% last year.🧵 111

david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Although the full extent of the holocaust's atrocities wasn't known until the war's end, this cartoon, published three years earlier, reflected the emergence of reports. 🧵 100

david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I'm scared, but I believe deep down that the US is a brave country willing to defend human rights against tyranny. We must awaken the values instilled in our history and families. Our conscious demands this of us. 110

david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I'm surprised they defunded the Small Business Administration (SBA). That's a pretty popular program. I haven't found anything suggesting tax cuts so far, but I've heard pundits imply that this bill includes tax cuts for the rich. If anyone has insights I'd be curious. 000

david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Geopolitics are in a really bad place. I was hopeful my boys would avoid the terror of a draft, but with all the spiraling escalations, I see darkness ahead. 100
david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 11/03/2025This hits the nail on the head. In the Boost community I encountered a particularly toxic narcissist who also had strange requests for thanks. When people aren't saying "thanks" it threatens the self-delusion of being some kind of hero. 030

david-sankel.bsky.social @david-sankel.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Memory safety disinformation abounds - Profiles make C++ memory safe. They don't. - Memory safety plans involve rewriting all your C++ code. Wrong. - Rust is just as unsafe because of its 'unsafe' keyword. Untrue. - Memory safety is no longer a concern because Trump. False. 140
