We're gonna go through 15 screenshots of forbidden C++ code that should never be written in an actual codebase.

Note that it IS possible to explicitly specify a template argument for a generic lambda, you just have to spell out the call operator:
```
auto lambda = []< typename T >(){ return T{}; };
auto result = lambda.operator()< float >();
```

[@314Labs]

Would it be possible to specify the template argument in a IIFE?

[@user-gr8fg4ub4v]

oh!
auto v = [](T){ return 2 + 2; }.operator()(1);

[@fzort]

Fun talk, I learned something.

[@tomekczajka]

Interesting how a lot of cppcon talks are about how horrible the C++ language is.

[@fareloz]

Great power comes with great responsibility

[@SomebodyHere-cm8dj]

I wrote a particularly evil function function the other day, that takes a uint16_t the other day and calls a function that takes the entered number as its template parameter, generating all the if statements with templates and recursive calls.

[@slava6105]

Alright.
Now going back to c11...

[@destiny_02]

Amen

[@Samsom321]

How to make C++ code unreadable with zero semantics gain! 😂

[@arizvisa]

glad to not have to write c++ anymore. would rather reverse it anyways...

[@MrAbrazildo]

1:25, and the memory wasn't initialized.

[@learpcss9569]

does it matter for in the context of a question?

[@onebronx]

Wasted time

[@carneirouece]

is there something more annoying than vocal fry?
