Is Perl 6 Being Renamed?
The BBC, the world’s largest broadcaster, had Perl everywhere. They decided to ditch it. MongoDB claims that their clients aren’t developing any new projects in Perl, so they’re ditching Perl 5 support. Other companies are continuing this trend and this is, as potential clients have told me, because they’re tired of waiting for Perl 6. They think Perl 6 is the successor to Perl 5 and given the name, it makes perfect sense. Combine that with the negative press about Perl 5 and you get into “nobody got fired for buying IBM” territory, but

Software disenchantment
As a general trend, we’re not getting faster software with more features. We’re getting faster hardware that runs slower software with the same features.

16Gb Android phone was perfectly fine 3 years ago. Today with Android 8.1 it’s barely usable because each app has become at least twice as big for no apparent reason. There are no additional functions. They are not faster or more optimized. They don’t look different. They just…grow?

What is a lambda expression in C++11?
C++ includes useful generic functions like
std::for_eachandstd::transform, which can be very handy. Unfortunately they can also be quite cumbersome to use, particularly if the functor you would like to apply is unique to the particular function.
Source: What is a lambda expression in C++11?
C++11 introduces lambdas allow you to write an inline, anonymous functor to replace the
struct f. For small simple examples this can be cleaner to read (it keeps everything in one place) and potentially simpler to maintain,
