為何要 modern C++?

從 conan.io Twitter 中看到轉傳一篇文章： Why I don’t spend time with Modern C++ anymore ，是 Henrique Bucher 所寫的文章，內容提到：

1. Why is it a problem really?  generates extremely hard-to-optimize graphs that C++ compilers have trouble with.
2. Compilation time:  It is not rare to see Modern C++ applications taking 10 minutes to compile. With traditional C++, this number is counted in low seconds for a simple change.
3. Maintainability: you want simplicity. You need simplicity.
4. The Real Reason: But the real motivation why I do not spend much time with Modern C++ anymore, despite being pretty good at it at some point, is just that there is much more being developed in the industry that needs my attention.
5. Conclusion: One has to learn C/C++ but cannot find the language in itself be sufficient.

 每一位個體都有自己學習的能力及習慣，在使用這些工具程式語言時，也是相同的道理，端看自己的對於這種語言的學習成熟度與熟悉度，主要還是要看你本身要使用它來解決什麼問題？這些問題的背後是否已經有人提供很好的 Library 來支援？自己從頭到尾來打造輪子、自造汽車，那似乎也未免太過於辛苦了。

對於作者提到工業界的需求，在這個觀點上，可能 modern C++ 也許不是那麼重要，但是，在其他的觀點上，比如說，寫像是 Boost library 的觀點上，或許 modern C++ 解決了許多問題？另外， C++ 的資源也相當豐富，像 Awesome Modern C++，是考量的原因之一。
