Ask HN: Any projects which tweak c++ syntax? (Transpilers, etc.)

2 points0xCMP1 comment

I'm starting to do more C++ but I really like some of the changes I get to use in things like Go.

I wondered if there wasn't something simple like gofmt for C++ I could setup and if I could change a few bits of the c++ syntax to be almost the same but more like Go.

It's tricky to do.

C/C++ isn't quite as bad as, say, the Wikimedia markup language, but C/C++ syntax and semantics does not divide up into neat layers, making it harder to write transpilers and other kind of metaprogramming systems.
