Bjarne Stroustrup’s CppCon 2020 Plenary is Available on YouTube

Bjarne Stroupstrup’s CppCon 2020 plenary sesson, “The Beauty and Power of Primitive C++“, is now available on the CppCon YouTube channel.

From his CppCon 2020 talk description: This is an exploration of a design space close to the hardware and of the use of C++ in that space, rather than a standards proposal or the presentation of a mature tool chain. And, no, by “primitive”, I don’t mean “old-fashioned, C-like” code; some of the general techniques are old, but some of the code requires C++17 and much could be done better given features we are unlikely to get even in C++23.

My Online Conversations with Bjarne Stroustrup

I’ve also had two opportunities to talk live online with Bjarne about the C++ language during past Embarcadero CodeRage online conferences:

• A Conversation with the C++ language designer, Bjarne Stroustrup – Monday, December 10, 2012
• C++ Language Conversation with Bjarne Stroustrup and David Intersimone – Tuesday, December 4, 2018

You will find ISO C++ articles, news, books, podcasts, training courses, events, videos, product news, standardization activities, etc. on the Standard C++ Foundation site.
