Kodsnack 703 - The subset needs to fit you
A Swedish podcast recently had a lot of C++ content, in English.
The first 20 min are about consultant life, the rest 60+ minutes are C++. Since there are not that many Podcasts with C++ content, I thought I would share it
The episode is also on YouTube and on Spotify, and possible other services.
From the description:
...
We then talk about the standardization process for C++ and about new things in C++ 26. Harald discusses the issues of adding new things which are good in themselves, but perhaps don’t fit into a bigger picture, take a lot of focus and energy which in turn means many other things do not get considered which may be smaller and more widely and immediately useful.
Also: once something is in the standard library, it’s eternal. And there is still no real ecosystem around C++. Infrastructure is a hard thing. And Rust is out there.
Finally, we talk about Harald’s experience of running the Swedencpp meetup for ten years. What does it mean to run something for so long? Technology, talks, locations, providing a space for presentations, and trying to keep things evolving are all discussed.
