What is the future of C++?
The landscape of software development is constantly evolving, and thus the languages and tools we use must evolve.
In recent years, a number of new programming languages and compiler projects (Rust, Circle, Carbon, cpp2, Val, etc) have been started with the goal of improving software development which would typically be done in C with traditional compilers. Additionally, the C language has begun considering new and bold evolutionary paths to respond to the changing needs of the community.
Come to this panel for a lively discussion of the merits and future of C++ and these next-generation projects.
