I have to work with C++ professionally one and off based on client requirements is there an _efficient_ resource that would allow me to keep up with all that has happened beyond C++14?

At the rate the committee adds stuff it feels like it is a full time job just to keep up.

Also is there any initiative within C++ to do a subset dialect with bowling alley guard rails? Something analog to the old C++ JFS standard, or something analog to dlang '-betterC' dialect flag?

This repo has a concise summary of new features, if that is the sort of thing you are looking for: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features
