Next GangBAN on 2023-04-20

Thanks to everyone joining in on the GangBAN yesterday on 2023-03-18! We
were four players playing armagetronade and openra-ra.

As people agreed, boost and C++ are against the geneva convention. This
conclusion came after we discussed, whetever throwing nukes onto virtual
armies or bases is against the geneva convention.

Virtual armies are virtual, so it does not matter. But boost and C++
ruined our plan to play battle of wesnoth! So they are a crime!

	Though I’ve my share of coding in the C++ core (I have to in order to
	chase bugs, and there was the UI overhaul, and then there was refactoring
	the map editor…), I avoid it as much as possible because I’ve grown to
	violently dislike C++ during my time on this project. Wesnoth has many
	virtues, but the core codebase is a pile of OO scar tissue with way too
	many deeply intertwingled classes. I know the developers and I blame the
	language; it seems as difficult to avoid this kind of excess in C++ as it
	is to write readable code in Perl.

We agree!

See you on next GangBAN!


Sincerely yours,
