This post is a brief commentary on Martin Fowler’s post, An Example of LLM Prompting for Programming. There’s a lot of excitement about how the GPT models and their successors will change programming. It describes the architecture, goals, and design guidelines; it also tells ChatGPT explicitly not to generate any code.

Today, the ISO C++ committee completed its second meeting of C++26, held in Kona, HI, USA. Our hosts, Standard C++ Foundation and WorldQuant, arranged for high-quality facilities for our six-day meeting from Monday through Saturday. This time, the committee adopted the next set of features for C++26.

Syllogisms: If A implies B and B implies C, then A implies C. Generative AI has proven useful for generating code but hasnt (yet) made significant inroads into software design. Could training models specifically on design patterns be a breakthrough? A model specialized for software design would be worth having.

At CppCon 2022, I argued for why we should try to make C++ 10x simpler and 50x safer , and this update is an evolution of the update talk I gave at C++ Now in May, with additional news and demos. No one else has tried the TypeScript plan for C++ yet, and I see value in trying it, and so that’s the plan I’m following for cppfront.
