C++ improvements over time
C++ 11 most underrated and overlooked features explained
Indeed C++ is quite an old programming language and despite some rumors, is has still supremacy over its niche of purposes like low-level coding and in projects which target speed of running. Sometimes people tend to overlook and underestimate its importance just because of commodity. On the other hand there are use cases which for which I would never recommend C/C++ like data science, machine learning of web and mobile applications.
Even tough C++ must seem terrifically old as the three from the above, it hides secrets as well. Let me uncover them for you!
Prerequisites

A little bit history
C++ has 6 main issues that were released until the time of writing, and I will be tackling the most important features that were added in each of them in the following section:
