   "This article was originally published in Polish in issue 4/2013" — a lot of excellent advice. Sad to see C++ have moved in last decade in a direction that makes writing efficient, simple low level code harder and harder :(

      Writing clear, concise, and efficient code in C++ has never been simpler or easier. The improvements in C++ over the last 15 years have been qualitative.

      So many complex, esoteric, and difficult to maintain incantations that used to be required for efficient code generation are no longer necessary.

         How do you process read-only mmaped data in C++, in accordance with the language rules? As an example.

            That's not something that's unique to C++ though. For example, Rust has the same issue.
