Title: Range and Elevation - C++ in a modern world
Proposer: Steve Love
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
As programmers we spend a lot of time and effort dealing with collections of … stuff. Words, numbers, files, Employees, you name it, we have collections of it. C++ provides some pretty sophisticated tools for managing collections, but they are, in truth, pretty low-level, and not altogether intuitive. Other languages seem to do better in this regard, although sometimes with an associated cost in either time or space. How hard would it be to raise the bar of abstraction in C++ without sacrificing efficiency?

This talk is about my attempt to do just that, through an API of simple, but composable expressions geared around some of the more common needs of code that works with collections of … stuff.
