Hello everyone!
Our San Diego C++ meetup 50th anniversary was celebrated hosting Bryce Adelstein Lelbach – a very known persona in the C++ community and the chair of the Standard C++ Library Evolution group.
Bryce gave a talk on C++ future, cutting edge features. Here is the list of the 3 items presented.
- Reflection/injection – facilities for extracting information from the program, performing compile-time computations based on that information, and injecting new program entities based on those computations.
- Pattern matching – a new expressive selection mechanism that matches values against patterns and binds variables when matches are successful.
- Senders – a framework for asynchronous programming that enables us to write generic code that can run on any type of execution resource, from a single thread to a cluster of GPUs.
Bryce believes that in the next decade, the above three major new C++ features will reshape how we write C++ code. This came with a lot of very interesting examples.
Here is the recording in San Diego C++ Meetup’s YouTube channel:
