Plenary: Cooperative C++ Evolution – Toward a Typescript for C++ - Herb Sutter - CppCon 2023
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2023

C++23 is done. But C++ is not! In this talk I’ll give my personal perspectives on:

• C++’s ongoing and very active evolution;
• The latest progress updates on my cppfront experimental compiler, and what I’ve learned about modern ISO C++20 and C++23 in the experiment (https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront);
• Why compatibility (and what kind, and how much) is essential; and
• Why we should aim to keep bringing C++ forward successfully by cooperating and being part of C++’s ongoing true evolution via WG 21, even though that’s more work than pursuing a new fresh-but-competing evolutionary path.

Herb Sutter

Herb is an author, designer of several Standard C++ features, and chair of the ISO C++ committee and the Standard C++ Foundation. His current interest is simplifying C++.
