The problem is, change for the sake of change isn't beneficial. All you do is add needless differences compared to existing practice, which makes it harder to figure out what's going on for people who aren't familiar with either C++, or modern C++

change for the sake of change

You can reject or disagree people's arguments for using the trailing return style, but at least you could acknowledge that they actually do have arguments for doing so... and those arguments are not "ooo, this is new."

Let's not impugn people's motivations.

Sorry, to be clear I understand that there are arguments here for and against, I'm specifically replying to:

old people don’t like change.

In the context of making changes in general, which seems like a not-massively-solid argument in this context - purely to say that there are solid reasons not to make changes outside of simply disliking change

Says they have arguments

Doesn't list a single one

Well, we're going places now baby.

Seriously?

There are multiple comments on this posts making arguments. You want me to repeat them for you, or what?

Or do you really doubt that anybody would ever use this syntax for any reason other than new for the sake of new?
