From Templates to Concepts: Metaprogramming in C++ Alex Dathskovsky CppNow 2023
Slides: https://github.com/boostcon


Metaprogramming has been a powerful feature of C++ since its introduction in C++98. However, as the language has evolved, the tools and techniques for metaprogramming have also improved, making the code simpler, more expressive, and easier to read. In this talk, we will explore the history of metaprogramming in C++ and how the use of development has become clearer and more elegant with each new version of the standard. We will start by discussing the metaprogramming techniques used in C++1117. We will dive into the new features in C++20, such as concepts, that make metaprogramming more powerful, expressive, and easy to read. To demonstrate this, we will implement a metaprogramming example using C++1117, and then show how the same example can be written in a much cleaner and more elegant way using C++20 concepts. This talk is aimed at C++ developers who want to improve their metaprogramming skills and take their code to the modern age.
