I read a series of blog posts (specifically, at vector-of-bool) on the ins-and-outs (and some surprising asides) of C++ Modules.
While some of the specifications are still in flux, they're setting down for c++20, and it's looking very interesting.

vertical lines (Wesnoth geometry)

denispir » December 1st, 2019, 12:15 pm
This is not a feature request, rather curiosity. Why was it chosen to have vertical lines?, while obviously (see below) horizontal ones seem more intuitive. What were the reasons? A long time ago, I coded a game with hex geometry (although with square tiles for simplicity, see below illustration)....
