I just started reading effective modern C++ (C++11 and 14 update book) and it got me thinking, why does Stourstroup insist in adding even more to the core language instead of developing the native library?
I would honestly rather have a more complete repertoire of native functionality (simple 2D renderer, terminal options, C++ sockets, pretty much all of libboost etc). I've been working as a C/C++ dev for 3 years now, and even those I work with that have more than a decade experience barely use most of C++11 features, its just too fucking massive, and they're already coming up with C++14. Even Stoustroup himself said he uses maybe 80% at most of the language on his projects.
Whats the reason behind this?

nooblet C++ programmer bump for interest

If there weren't so many libraries doing that already they probably would.
The thing is that C++ is used in everything, literally everything. So there has to be some use for some of its more complex features.

I don't think this is an appropriate question for the /g/ community. You probably won't get anything but memes and people shittalking C++.
I am in the same boat as you and have to agree though. Maybe he's addressed it at a conference?

He constantly states that C++ isn't meant to be used in its entirety, but I'm not sure why exactly he ignores the native library though.
I do remember a member of the dev team saying something about the 2D renderer, not sure what happened.

I apologize if this does not belong here but consider it a bump.
I just got a job where I will be working with C++. What is the best book/resource to get me up to speed? I have not used C++ since intro to programming in freshman year, I still remember the basics but I will need a resource that will allow me to go deep into the language as I will be using it for the next couple of years most likely.

You shouldn't have said you knew C++ mate, its a bitch to get up to speed and work on big projects. I've seen 4 programmers fired for this same reason. Never lie about knowing C++.
Anyway C++ primer and effective C++ are among the best starting points.

I didnt lie, they knew my level of experience with C++. I have only one C++ project on my github, I mainly use Go and C. They are fine with me reviewing it in my off time. But thanks Ill check those out.

Because not everyone needs to code the same way. Only autistics spaz out when one programmer uses a range base for and another uses the vanilla version.

Stroustrup is not in charge of C++ and hasn't been for 20 years you flaming faggot.
If it was up to him, C++ would have had a garbage collector some time during the 90s.
