Readable C++
summary
Starts with tens of thousands of lines of astrophysics Fortran style code, moves to a C++ rewrite using STL, char pointers, regex and templates, and submits a JUCE-based solution for a string replace substring coding test and gets the job. Claims JUCE makes code close to plain English and dramatically more readable for nonexpert developers, notes C++17 forces some previously concise patterns to change, and warns that 90% of users need simpler, readable defaults rather than advanced language complexity.
