> Microsoft Store could have changed this situation

Don't you need to create a Microsoft account to use it? That makes sense for a store where you buy apps with money, but not for a package manager for free software like Notepad++.

P.S. I'm waiting for the day you need a registered Ubuntu account to use their snap store :(

The non-developer / non-power-user is likely already using their Microsoft account to log into the OS.

Author here. Sadly, this had to be done, otherwise you would not see anything on the chart. I added an extra progress bar below, so that people would not get a wrong impression.

Hey, I really appreciate this site! Independent from my personal opinion on modules, I think it's extremely helpful to everyone to see the current state of development; and you do an excellent job reflecting that.

This might be OK for someone using your files (a bit like a header-only library) but not so great for team development.

You still organize the big file into sections to keep things together that are semantically related. For Git it mostly doesn't matter whether it's 100 small files or a single big one.

Nah I'm a C++ (ex?) enthusiast and modules are cool but there's only so many decades you can wait for a feature other languages have from day 1, and then another decade for compilers to actually implement it in a usable manner.

w4rh4wk5 · 11 days ago

I am fine with waiting for a feature and using it when it's here. But at this point, I feel like C++ modules are a ton of complexity for users, tools, and compilers to wrangle... for what? Slightly faster compile times than PCH? Less preprocessor code in your C++.. maybe? Doesn't seem worth it to me in comparison.

Wow, the way this data is presented is hilarious.

Log scale: Less than 3% done, but it looks like over 50%.

Estimated completion date: 10 March 2195

It would be less funny if they used an exponential model for the completion date to match the log scale.

w4rh4wk5 · 11 days ago

Yeah, my personal opinion is that modules are dead on arrival, but I won't waste my time arguing with C++ enthusiasts on that.

https://arewemodulesyet.org/ gives you an overview which libraries already provide a module version.

Same here! But I recently switched from ncmpcpp to rmpc, which is a much more modern client! A lot more (easily) customizable compared to ncmpcpp as well.

w4rh4wk5 · 14 days ago

Thanks, gotta check that out!

Maybe it's just me, but I still like the plainness of MPD + ncmpcpp.

My background is in teaching C programming at the university level and DDD was very helpful there, although not very comfortable to use. For years, I've looked for a replacement and finally found Seer and was very happy with it.

Interactive debugging is definitely useful when teaching but obviously teaching is a different context. But Seer is not an educational tool and I believe it will hold up in other cases as well.

w4rh4wk5 · 15 days ago

Have you also tried KDbg, and if so, what's the reason for picking seer over KDbg?

May I recommend this episode of The Stand Up podcast with Ryan Fleury as guest, who is the driving force behind the rad debugger.

Casey also makes a good point here on why printf-debugging is still extremely popular.
