Great article. Modern C++ has come a really long way. I think lots of people have no idea about the newer features of the standard library and how much they minimize footguns.

I eagerly await the day when they do away with the distinction between ".cpp" and ".hpp" files and the textual substitution nature of "#include" and replace them all with a proper module system.

The distinction between *.cpp and *.hpp is purely convention, the compiler does not care at all.
