Attitude Era has expectations. Shock TV, spectacle, explosive action.

But increasingly after WM X-7, that disappears as WCW personnel get absorbed, John Laurinaitis’s rise in the office (which would have major decisions as years goes on). It’s not Attitude Era. I personally call this period the Invasion Era, starting with Lance Storm’s debut and ending with Vince’s declaration of ruthless aggression, because it’s a constant influx, it’s a different period, and the philosophy got changed

Brand extensions and co-owners being part of attitude era compresses all of that. WWE never formally named this period, but I genuinely believe we should separate this from attitude era.

The whole reason I came to C++ is to better organise my C code

I seeked classes instead of X_Func, I seeked VTABLEs instead of struct function pointers. And I think many experience devs would speak the same

However, lately, starting with C++11 this has gone completely downhill. STD is sticking its nose in too much. Template-heavy. The entire STD library Balloons my executable to the MiBs when my minimal runtime library amounts to 40 KiB.

There’s good shit like modules. I think that’s better than headers

Then constexpr. But the rest is bloated

But this community seems to not care about performance. Every single time I press this issue I get pushed back with “It’s good for library authors, it’s good for abstraction. Safety. Railings”

Use Python, Rust, virtually any language out there. They do what you’re looking for. Not the C lineage
C/C++ is the foundation. Rust is the abstraction.the foundation can be a little shaky, more raw, but it’s stable. The layers on top of it helps expression.
