> Imagine needing to announce your "departure" from a community.

The exact same thing jumped out at me. Does anyone know if the author is a particularly well known or influential member of the C++ community?

I can't speak to their well-known-ness or influence, but they're definitely one of my favorite cppcon speakers[0]

The community is lessened by their departure

Maybe Strousoup was showing disgust at the words written on the t-shirt?

[chrsig]

What makes you suggest that?

[secondcoming]

There is at least one profanity written on it.

[chrsig]

And that warrants looks of disgust?

[secondcoming]

For some people it would seem so.

That video's from 2017, the snub was 2015.

Contributing to the spec, creating a very widely used set of CMake utilities, and being a widely enjoyed speaker not enough for you?

With the condescending airquotes and demeaning comment, one might think you had done some research. Clearly you hadn't. A Google search can tell you all of this.

No, this is clearly not enough to get shit accepted into the C++ standard. As evident by the fact that none of OP's ideas made it into the standard. Why should any of that matter?

I'm sure OP is not alone here, by the way. I submit there must be thousands of amazing ideas proposed by amazing people that don't end up being accepted into the standard for a myriad of reasons. Get over it.

Yet another person on here who didn't read the article.

> Multi-argument indexing made it into the C++23 standard, and so did std::byteswap. That’s my legacy I guess.

I haven't done any C++ in nearly a decade and I know who she is, I have read some of her articles and listened to her in a podcast or two.

They were around. I remember that Izzy was a part of the conversation around modules for example.
