Hi there, I’ve been using C++ few times for personal projects (mainly on the ESP32) and because I’m quite aging I’m still stuck in the early 90’s way of doing things (new + delete manual allocation and deallacation / classes / inheritence / polymorphism with pure abstract classes), without using anything from the standard lib (what was known as Boost before)
C++ evolved a lot but, so are you aware of some good “start from scratch” ressources to learn the 2024 way of coding ?
Check rust-lang, it’s more closer to modern C++, but you can always try Crystal, It is the language for the future, and will make you really happy when coding, i guess this is what you want.
BTW: I thought most of the people in Crystal community are not young, this is a problem anyway.
I’ve already a Crystal (a language I like a lot) project to be reborn (coded around 2024/01) that is around 5k lines, and spent few hours looking at Rust but I don’t like it, not telling if it’s good or not, that’s just me… I would prefer to refresh my old C++ skills to try to be “aligned” the most I can with modern C++ principles…
At the end, my goal is to improve my coding in Crystal but also in C++
