The 3 most popular C++ posts of April 2021

For April, I'm a bit late, but I spent the second half of April on vacation, and this week I've been busy with C++Now both as a speaker and an attendee. But a few days delay should not stop us from revisiting a couple of interesting articles This is the second month that I share the 3 popular C++ articles of the month.

I don't take the most popular articles anymore, because I find that while some articles do meet the criteria to add #cpp as a tag, but they are not mostly about C++. So there is a bit of subjectivity to this list. Yet, I try not to include multiple articles from the same author.

Feel free to share your favourite one in the comments.
