Functional Programming in Modern C++ - The Imperatives Must Go!
Explore functional programming techniques in modern C++ through this comprehensive conference talk. Discover how Haskell's principles have influenced mainstream languages, including C++, and learn to apply functional programming concepts to write clearer, shorter, and faster code. Delve into topics such as lambdas, closures, std::function, value types, constants, STL algorithm composability, lazy ranges, folding, mapping, and higher-order functions. Examine the benefits of adopting a declarative style over an imperative one, and gain insights into upcoming C++ features like ranges and monadic extensions. Investigate advanced concepts including composition, lifting, currying, partial application, pure functions, pattern matching, and lazy evaluation to enhance your C++ programming skills and tackle complex software challenges.
