    C++ Slack Channel

    Has anyone else here joined the C++ Slack Channel? I'm on there with the same nickname. A few members of the standards committee are on there regularly, and there's a lot of great discussion that goes on.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?

    Good for them. Wake me when they wish to go back to a non-proprietary and non-freemium chat service like mailing lists, irc, or usenet.

    I'd imagine they haven't abandoned usenet or mailing lists. This is just a new medium, in addition to the others.

    I think you have to request an invitation. That's what I had to do. Try this link.

    O Internet, when did the One True Chat Protocol fall from grace in favor of web-based walled flower pots?

    It's because of the Team features, man!
