Corporate loves to steal ideas and patent it/copyright it so nobody else gets to steal it next, even the original author of a technique.

This is not a correct comparison as rust strings support UTF8. Try doing that with char*!

The caching is kind of mandatory as the sub-problems interact.

The "what is opentofu" should ideally explain what is Infrastructure as Code Tool as a lot of devs might find it welcoming to learn.

Lol when GodotOS supports fractional scaling faster than some DEs..

My point is that the design is wrong. Nobody expects [] as lvalue to update a value. Your argument is descriptive, mine is prespcriptive. I am saying that the C++ committee is wrong on this one (or whoever designed it this way)

I am trying C++ for this year's advent of code. The most asinine thing i encountered is that the bracket operator on std::map writes 0 value if the key is not found. So your code doesn't compile if you declare a const map or a const map reference as a function parameter. Compiler fails with "discards const qualifier on argument".

I mean, wtf?

Edit: this is probably true for other STL containers
