C++ Then vs C++ Now

C++ then std::bind new delete template <typename A> template <typename A, typename B> template <typename A, typename B, typename C> pthread_create CreateThread C++ now [-](auto var) {...} RAII template <typename... A> std::thread

A humorous comparison shows older C++ features as muscular figures, while newer C++ features are represented by grotesque, exhausted-looking characters. The joke is that modern C++ syntax and abstractions can feel increasingly strange and complicated compared with the older, more recognizable APIs. It is used as a reaction by C++ programmers complaining about language complexity and template-heavy code.
