Why not? Because it takes long to deliver, or because they can't be expected to read their mail?

The question was "where is all that new software?".

[will need to be fixed later if I'm wrong]

It's in Fedora, Arch, and many other popular operating systems.

How are any of these achieved by a vector-like type with capacity frozen at construction time?

Just poking fun - the ad is for a "composing machine", so the joke wrote itself.

From the last image:

Looks machine-composed.

The west, you mean?

Using '=' for both assignment and comparison is awkward when parsing incomplete code. Consider e.g.:

  j = 5;

The user starts writing (<|> is the cursor position):

  i = <|>
  j = 5;

This is a valid expression (i is a boolean). But the user probably intends to finish writing something like:

  i = 0;
  j = 5;

So in the intermediate state we would like to emit a single warning about an incomplete statement. But since it is valid as written, we instead end up warning about e.g. j being unbound.

Not common for showers, though. Those almost always have separate temperature and flow controls.

I read it and thought it contained several good ideas, but was excessively wordy and would have benefited from being half as long.

Why would I leave it open once I'm done with the task for which I opened the terminal?

Yes, many or even most domains where C++ sees a large market share are domains with no other serious alternative. But this is an indictment of C++ and not praise. What it tells us is that when there are other viable options, C++ is rarely chosen.

The number of such domains has gone down over time, and will probably continue to do so.
