Ask HN: Getting back to C++ and looking for ideas
Hello .. I used to code C/C++ about 15 years ago, and mainly used it for MFC/Windows programming. I spend years doing Java and enjoyed using it for Android development. I since moved to Python for most of my work (mainly working on deep learning). I'd like to get back to C++ again .. I mostly remember the language but need to dust off details like STL, generics, libraries, etc. Here is my problem .. I can't figure out what sort of tiny programs are a strong fit for C++ today. I don't want to build C++ or work with some large existing code base. Best place I can think of where C++ would be a good fit today is Cuda dev. Is there anything else that I am missing? I'm desperately looking for something to get excited about wrt C++ .. would appreciate advice! 5 comments on Hacker News.
