**Title**: C++11 The Future is Here\\
**Proposer**: [[2013:bjarne_stroustrup]]\\
**Type**: Keynote\\
**Duration**: 60 minutes\\
**Description**: 
C++ allows you to write better code faster. By “better” I mean maintainable code with fewer errors than
was possible in C++98. C++11 allows you to write less code for a given problem and have it run faster.
By “faster” I mean getting real-world code to run as fast as or faster than hand-tuned C, as fast as or
faster than code written in any modern language I know of, sometimes much faster. This can be done
today, using currently shipping compilers.\\
\\
But most people are stuck in a 1970s or 1980s mindset, can we catch up to C++11? Worse, many people
are stuck in a mess of “legacy code” creating a framework of constraints that discourage the use of 21 st
century facilities.\\
\\
My aim in this talk is not to enumerate the C++11 features or to go into great technical detail on a
select feature. My aim is to show how the best practices for C++ design and programming is better
supported by C++11 than by earlier versions. To do that, I discuss small code examples. I expect to
use the concurrency library, standard containers, and chrono. I expect to use initializer lists, move
semantics, variadic templates, lambda expressions, and type aliases. As usual, RAII (Resource Acquisition
Is Initialization) will feature large.\\
