C++20-only? #206

Open oberstet opened 4 years ago

oberstet commented 4 years ago

currently, autobahn-cpp announces to run on C++11 or higher. which is getting old. and newer C++ version have added/rectified quit a bit of the new shiny stuff (async, anonymous funs, type inference, ..) we might want to use.

I doubt that even 5 years from now, more than 20% of people writing production C++ codebases will be using C++20. You want them to cut off the vast majority of the userbase because there's a new shiny? This isn't Javascript.

thanks for chiming in!

nope, it's not=) I agree, C++ has a different userbase and systems, tools or applications often have constraints. yeah, so obviously the consequence is: we cannot make C++ 20 a mandatory minimum for the library itself. we still could have (some) examples that make use of C++ 20 .. just not within the library (I don't see how a selective/optional use of C++ 20 features within the library would make much sense ...).
