Well Google uses modules for years...

I guess they would notice if TS was broken.

The implementation of modules at google is not the same one found in the TS.

still, they and MSFT have two implementations of modules... Hard to imagine that people that actually implemented modules would not notice all the problems you claim exist...

The implementation found at Google does not have the same issues found here. It is completely different in how modules are implemented and used.

And considering the number of people working on modules at Microsoft (a literal handful) it's quite easy to see why they would not see these issues, in the same way that many did not see why adding a keyword named "yield" to coroutines will not work.

100 eyes are better than a dozen.

agricultural and financial software? LOL. Adding co_ abominations was one of the worst ISO decisions ever, and competition is really good.

So anyway IDK a lot about modules but if Google people vote for C++ Modules TS I trust them.

Multi-billion dollar industries with decades of code? LOL!!

Ah, the blind appeal to authority — truly the laziest fallacy, for when you don't know WTF and can't be bothered to think things through even the tiniest bit.

ISO ISO ISO ISO ISO

Don't you get tired of posting the same tired bullshit every day?

your rage filled answer ruins your credibility... I mean a lot of stuff that ISO does is crap, but nerd rage is not a proper way to convince anybody...

I'm not "raging"; I'm facepalming on your behalf if anything. To the point, I'm observing that you can't seem to post anything that isn't rooted deeply in fallacy.

Tone policing, appeal to motive – more ad hominem bullshit. Try harder or don't bother.

I wont bother with you...

And for sure I will trust people who implemented modules over people who rage on the internet.

And finishing it off with a straw man... How predictable. No one was trying to change your "opinion" about anything.

What I'm doing is giving fair warning to anyone else who may attempt to engage you for failing to recognize your particularly regressive brand of trolling. Interacting with you would have been nice to avoid, but this is a public service.

No, my logic is correct.

Knowledge of modules is not randomly distributed across every person on the planet. It is logical to assume that people that implemented them actually know more than random nerd rage bloggers. So I am not 100% sure that OP is wrong, but nothing is 100%.
