      Whilst it’s gotten a lot better in the -17 and -20 iterations, the fact that there was recently a doorstop book published solely on the subject of C++ initialisation semantics is pretty telling.

      I really like what Herb Sutter’s doing around cppfront; I still wouldn’t use C++ unless I absolutely had to.
