We, the C++ community, are the Borg

We, the C++ community, are the Borg. Lower your sandboxes and surrender your virtual machines. We will add your architectural and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your compiler will adapt to serve us. Resistance is futile.



Your programming language will be assimilated.





C++ is the steady, relentless workhorse of programming languages. It may adopt features gradually, but it never stops evolving, much like the tortoise that wins the race. While other languages are built around a single innovative feature—often sacrificing backward compatibility—C++ quietly observes. Developers of these new languages then face the long road of catching up to C++ in terms of features. Meanwhile, C++ users take note of promising ideas, incorporate them into C++, and render the new languages redundant.
