C++’s legacy is C. A hard aspect is its file-based build model. It tried to change with modules, but arguably isn’t there.
Now, C++ is considering fixes to issues including security and will introduce an enterprise ready solution:
- pro files
- semipro files
- free tier files
Berkeley Mono from @usgraphics, one of my favorite typefaces, has launched its V2 alongside a redesigned website! // U.S. Graphics Company - TX-02 Berkeley Mono™ Typeface usgraphics.com/products/berk…
Me, to wife: you ready for this? I don't think you're ready... OK here goes... gremolatte. It's a latte, but with chopped parsley, lemon zest, and garlic.
Wife: WHY ARE YOU... WHY??? WHY TELL ME THIS?
Good news everyone! The C++ committee just adjourned and decided that the syntax for reflection would be a double caret:

Also known as operator unibrow 🤨
You heard it here first, operator unibrow is (likely) coming to C++26
Now, all the programming fonts need a new ligature…
Maybe I should have called this paper “8ers gonna 8” 😂
Thanks for all the feedback so far! Keep it coming.
Here is an updated draft on making CHAR_BIT == 8 in C++:

Proposing that C++ acknowledge that there are exactly 8 bits in a byte.
I’d love feedback, especially from embedded / DSP folks who think this is a terrible idea.
