Summary
Jason Turner explores the {fmt} library and spdlog, demonstrating how they provide a cleaner, more intuitive alternative to C++'s iostream for string formatting and logging. He shows practical examples from his ARM emulator project where replacing verbose, hard-to-read iostream code with {fmt}'s Python-like format strings results in more concise, readable code. Jason highlights how {fmt} combines printf-like syntax with type safety and potentially better performance.
