I swear to god "old school" C++ devs are menace to humanity

Why yes let's make this one line long function, that could even be constexpr, and make it a macro.
Why the fuck not, let's make compiler errors worse by foregoing any type checking. Let's throw away namespacing as well, great.

Fuck you.
I shouldn't have to dig through 4 levels of nested macros just cause "muh performance" and "we've always done it like that".
Shit yourself.

    You need to accept that the compiler and optimizer are smarter than you are.

    Let them optimize it. Constexpr even implies inline, yon can leave out the inline keyword too

    It should be the typescript version of C++ :D

    @atheist preach it
    I'm very much in the camp of "if its worth to inline, the compiler/optimizer will do it for me"

    @atheist declarations in multiple compilation units being OK, isn't that more like static?

    @sariel haha, not really a JS dev here.

    90% of my job is in C#
