How are these three words related? C++ is a language, LLVM is a compiler infrastructure. Cybersecurity is a whole different beast. Sometimes experienced engineers say that C++ is incompatible with the term “cybersecurity” and should be replaced with safer languages. We argue that this is not correct, and that C++ has an awesome future going forward. To explain why, let’s start with two small…
We are once again in a phase where language comparisons dominate technical discourse. They resurface cyclically, usually accompanied by confident claims, simplified scorecards, and repeated references to “standards” that, upon closer inspection, are not standards at all…
Safety is one of the most frequently used and at the same time least precisely defined terms in today’s programming language debate. Hardly any concept is more often instrumentalized and less often examined in its full scope. In public discourse, safety is commonly reduced…
The ongoing discussion about the future of C++ is characterized by two closely connected themes: complexity and safety. Both concepts are frequently oversimplified in public discourse, often reduced solely to memory management. Yet safety encompasses far more: functional…
Ignorance, Surface, and Deep Architecture
Why Modern C++ Keeps Getting MisunderstoodA blog post about modern C++ architecture, the role of ranges, concepts, RAII, coroutines, and compile time structures, and about why many developers are dismissed by superficial criticism…
Bjarne Stroustrup's paper "Concept-Based Generic Programming in C++"
October 16, 2025
Bjarne Stroustrup posted a note on LinkedIn about his paper “Concept-Based Generic Programming in C++” saying “I wrote a new paper that I suspect might become significant”
Concept-Based Generic Programming in…
QuickReport is a much-loved reporting solution for RAD Studio with Delphi and C++Builder. It hit a crisis a few years back when the lead developer passed away unexpectedly. Now, with the help of Embarcadero Partner Barnsten, QuickReport is back and ready to work with the…
We recently identified a potential buffer overflow in the C/C++ runtime library (RTL). Although this is an issue that was introduced to the code in 1997 with no exploitation since its introduction, we are publishing a notification and a fix for safety and openness, out of an…

Hello C++ Developers, this week, we have2great articles about some ofthe methods of std::stringandstd::wstring. Wehave alsoa topic aboutthe std::make_from_tuplefunction template. If you still haven’t read my…
Hello C++ Developer, this week we have a new meeting about the latest C++ Builder 12 update, and we have 3 new posts to share with you. In these posts, we explain TViewport3D and TMesh components and we create a parametric torus function to draw different torus types in…
