A Future of Value Semantics and Generic Programming Part 1

Explore the fundamental concepts of generic programming and first-class value semantics in this keynote address from CppNow 2022. Delve into Dave Abrahams' insights gained from developing Swift, as he challenges conventional C++ thinking and examines these ideas from a fresh perspective. Discover how language features can be designed around these core concepts, potentially reshaping the future of programming. Learn from Abrahams' extensive experience in C++ standardization, the Boost Libraries, and his work on Swift and SwiftUI at Apple.
