C++ MythBusters
summary
Claims and evidence land fast: printf/sprintf hits a locale mutex and is slow on macOS so switching to fmt yields 3–4× speedup on macOS and ~20× on Windows in a Blender case study; C++20 modules help but don’t magically fix legacy code so verdict plausible not panacea; std::move is a cast not a transfer, optional can inhibit optimizations but C++23 adds monadic extensions for composing optionals, and compile‑time regex like ctre beats std::regex for hot paths.
