While the previous part was focused on C++11 features improving performance, here I will describe features which are used just to simplify your life by writing more concise code with less mistakes.
Regardless to what language you use, you always need to think about memory management. Garbage collectors might give you a sense that it’s done automagically, but to get more performance you need to have control over heap usage in code running at 60 FPS. C++11 helps to avoid many heap allocations without sacrificing usability.
After nearly three years of semi-public hyperactive development, I think it’s the time to release this beast into wild. Say hello to Magnum, modular graphics engine written in C++11 and OpenGL.
