Still has opinions about testing, still maintains Catch2.

Tragically, once you introduce costly signaling, all mathematics is impure.

I added bunch of lifetime annotations to Catch2's matchers, so the compatible compilers (Clang, MSVC in theory) will yell at you if you use it wrong with temporaries.
So many annotations (the overload set is chonky). :-D

As of right now, you can find the username and password for the C++ standardization wiki on a public mailing list.
I thought it was supposed to move off single shared acc few years ago though 🤔

Congrats... (checks notes) ... er, Microsoft? I guess?
"Alongside the Proxy 4 release, Microsoft introduced the Compiler Explorer, an online tool that allows developers to write and run Proxy code in their web browser."

If you're like me and can't remember if it's RCX or R8 for the fourth parameter... Get the Compiler Explorer ABI Mug: actual calling conventions for x86-64 System V, Windows, and ARM64. Support @godbolt.org: grab yours here -> shop.compiler-explorer.com/collections/...

Here is a little bit of free advice:
If you are gonna send out blind spam emails to promote your tool, don't lead with github repo I forgot even existed.
I have a repo that is close to 20k stars, try that ;-)

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

So, I am not saying that the next release of Catch2 will have thread safe assertions, but I hope your platform supports `thread_local` variables

I started looking into limited thread safety for assertions in Catch2.
Then I started refactoring some internals to make it easier.
The result is that running assertions is almost 40% faster than before. Profit!
(Wait for thread safety by default to take it all away again)
