The problem will really come if we do achieve to make them intelligent... they will look at us as we now look apes or even worst.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Lambdas are a nice recent addition to C++. They are cool, they are hip, and they tend to be overused and misused. When all you have is a corkscrew, everything looks like a bottle of wine
Mind out of the gutter, sir.

Is there a Rule 34 on Lambdas?

Rule 34 applies to everything.
But I was figuring people would go all giggly with the mention of 'corkscrew'.

The readability has improved vastly
Uh, how is for (auto&& e : container) vastly improved?
OK, granted, I haven't done C++ for so long that while I imagine I used to understand that syntax without thinking, I'm really don't miss it.
I guess knowing a language's syntax and nuances is not like riding a bicycle. I've certainly forgotten how!

Ooopsssss, sorry, I didn't see your post earlier. I posted the same topic under Lounge.

No problem here.
It's a wonder you didn't get attacked by the re-post trolls already though. They lurk about at times.
It was an interesting story and really cool how the white-hats tracked the nefarious character down.

Rather than talk about what makes people better at programming, I’d like to talk about what makes programmers more marketable. "Each year one vicious habit rooted out, in time might make the worst Man good throughout."

The C programming language is hard to learn, its popularity is waning and demand is shifting. Is there any point in learning C? We could easily replace it with K and S
Khursh does look a little silly though.

It's the only language that is as close to the hardware as you can get without writing in assembly. So it's face. Anyone thinking it's hard to learn have been coddled too long.

I know, but put your toys away like a good boy or use a slower nanny managed language that will clean up for you.
Gosh if manual alloc / dealloc is what runs us into the arms of lesser performance - well so goes it I guess.
I'm a old speedy dinosaur that knows enough c / c++ and assy to get done what I need done. So yeah, I'm going to hold the banner high.

Case in point: One place I worked had C back-end and Java front-end programmers, and some manager, in his infinite wisdom, decided that every programmer should take a Java-certification thingy.
In the final exam, the C guys, to a man, scored higher than the Java guys -- all of whom were Senior developers.
It's like learning to play an instrument: do the basics over and over again, and the more artful stuff will be easier.

'struth.
I was never a good C programmer (I always referred to myself as a 'Manual C' programmer, as I needed the manual in my lap while coding), but I never regretted learning it. So much of it applies to every other language, even those without braces and semi-colons.

I dream of being able to spend a whole year with just one language, and not have to continually look up petty little differences in syntax to do things I've done a thousand times.

Oh, a two-star-programmer. C'mon, with a little more training you can become a three-star-programmer

That's a very good argument for learning C++, C I'm not so sure.
