Great topic to dig into! Thanks for this series!
Btw, how did you achieve the cpp2 syntax highlighting? I'm trying it in VS Code with MS C++ extensions, but there is no cpp2 syntax highlighting (or I probably miss something).

@dino_source there is an official vs code addon for cppfront, the one herb mentioned. That's why I was in vs codium for this one instead of neovim.

@@ProgrammingRainbow yeah, thanks so much! I didn't manage to find it in VS Code Extensions Marketplace (inside VS Code), so just downloaded and installed it manually using the following command:
code --install-extension ~/Downloads/elazarcoh.cpp2-syntax-0.0.5.vsix

Awesome video, keep up the good work!

[@ProgrammingRainbow]

Thank you very much.

Did you try adding a destructor, to see if that fixes the move in place of inout bug?

there was some talk about it in this video. I haven't been back with c++2 in a little while. But i plan to come back and build some games. But unless they implement modules that can handle c from sdl2 it will have to be a single file program. ua-cam.com/video/xnxq6TilDYg/v-deo.html
