In his seminal 1968 paper “Go To Statement Considered Harmful,” Edsger Dijkstra argued that unstructured control flow leads to tangled, hard-to-maintain code. The critique reshaped programming, ushering in an era of structured design that has influenced software development for over 50 years. Similarly, generic programming is a cornerstone of modern C++, enabling powerful abstractions and … Continue reading Generic Programming Considered Harmful?
