C++11 was only the beginning

Na kolejnym spotkaniu Mateusz opowie nam o ewolucji C++ w ostatnich latach.

Miejsce spotkania w trakcie ustalania, więcej szczegółów niebawem.

C++ is the fastest programming language in the world, and it leaves no room for other languages below it (except assembler). That is why it gets more attention now than ever before. As a result, we observe an increasing speed of the C++ language evolution. C++11 was a game changer, but now it is considered an "old" language already. C++14 and C++17 provided a lot of improvements that allow us to write portable, safer, and faster programs in a shorter time. The resulting source code is easier to reason about and maintain. Moreover, the C++20 is coming soon and will be a game changer again.

In my talk, I will briefly describe the changes introduced in the latest C++ language releases, and I will show how they influence the code we write every day. Later I will present major groundbreaking features of upcoming C++20.
