>C++ adds string_view
>meant to be like C strings but smart
std::unordered_set< std::string > animals =
{
    "dog", "cat", "cow"
};

const char *check1 = "pig";
std::string check2 = "pig";
std::string_view check3 = "pig";

if( animals.contains( check1 ) ) // valid C++

if( animals.contains( check2 ) ) // valid C++

if( animals.contains( check3 ) ) // invalid C++
the time you try to avoid c strings by refactoring with "proper" string_view you will realize along the way you actually can't do it because you lose 50% of functionality for some silly boomer reasons

is it time to get rid of the geriatric committee, by force if required?

It's hilarious how /g/ glorifies C++ when it's objectively the worst programming language ever made, 2nd only to Rust.

A thread died for this. Go to page 10 and reflect
