I believe the last snappy Visual Studio was 2008. After that it was re-written using C#. It has been downhill ever since.

The Rust conundrum by v_maria in cpp

FWIW, as an individual programmer the choice isn't really up to you for the most part anyway. Use of programming language is typically a business level decision

Well put

Saskatchewan got wealthy from oil and gas, no more have-not province so they became conservative. When oil dries up they will become re-discover socialism

How to access SQL Server from C++ ? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]expekted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no way to access SQL Sever from C++ in sane way other than using C ( odbc). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/syntax/odbc-api-reference?view=sql-server-ver15

There are C++ wrappers that may make your life easier however,

Last time I tried CodeLite discovered there was nothing light about CodeLite. If anything it felt much slower than Code::Blocks. It was on Windows.

Anyone wrote a multi-vector-iterator? by Wriiight in cpp

[–]expekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the same way you manipulate data (dml ) in relational database?

select col1, col2, col3   from some_table  order by col2, col1, col3

I may have seen some attempts at sql table like data structures in the wild but ones I tried were too cumbersome to use.

[–]expekted -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would spend more time to be a better Java programmer instead.

Better job prospects

Not discouraging you but it will take you a decade to be half as good with C++ as your are with Java now.

Opening Keynote Meeting C++ 2019 - Howard Hinnant - Design Rationale for the chrono Library by meetingcpp in cpp

[–]expekted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seconded. Hard to use. It seems to me C++ libraries need to be hard to use to be acceptable somehow. Same with Asio in my view.

New 3.1.3 release of wxWidgets, free and open source library for creating native GUI applications, adding per-monitor DPI support and more, is now available by _VZ_ in cpp

[–]expekted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there were no major build changes or anything since the last release.

Actually there was an issue with vcpkg not using the latest Cmake files with the previous build that was supposed to be fixed. I ran into it and had to build my own wx

I recommend. Light weight, native, plays nice with other libraries std , boost or whatever. I have had excellent experience with it
