A few examples:

  • CTAD: Instead of std::pair<int, int> myPair{ 1, 2 }, you just write std::pair myPair{ 1, 2 }
  • std::optional, std::variant and std::any
  • Guaranteed copy elision in some cases, making it more feasible to apply the rule of 5 everywhere
  • Attributes like [[nodiscard]] (compiler warning if an object or return value is discarded) and [[fallthrough]] (suppress a switch fallthrough warning)
  • Generic lambdas ([](auto it){ /* do something */ })
  • std::string_view, which is much safer as a function parameter than const char*
  • source
  • parent
