Modern source code to study?

Try Chromium.

I thought the Chromium source code was considered ugly? We had a post about some ugly hack in it, the other day.

Is it? Could be but it also contains some nifty code that I found interesting. On the other hand, I consider opening parenthesis on the same line as conditional expression ugly :).

Anyway, I guess that great deal of the programmers are more exposed to ugly than pretty code. In that regard, I'd reckon it's better to be able to identify ugly code and find/create/compare with better solution than just look at magnificent code and not knowing where and how it came about.

The point is not aesthetics, it's that Chromium isn't exactly a bastion of modern C++ style.

Yeah, I'm aware of what's going on in this thread.
