A well-balanced, well thought-out, level-headed and detailed talk. Feels like being guided through a thesis on iterator styles. We've all been frustrated at the complexities and limitations of C++ iterators, and wondering what the alternatives are -- this talk gives you that knowledge, and lets you appreciate each point in the design space.

27:30, so are ranges slow in any language? 38:22, C++ is faster for most cases and, as long as I know/think, it's also better to build tools - _or is Rust better to make C++ things than the opposite_ ? 57:52, tsc, tsc, tsc... I guess the answer is here, for example. I appreciate C++ functionality even more than its speed.

I keep getting function definition for INSTANTIATE_TEST_CASE_P not found. I am sure the variables are correct but it still will not recognize it.

We could've defined constexpr int I = 1; constexpr int J = 1; leading to preprocessor not seeing the definitions while evaluating #if I + J == 2u to get the same "2 Not 2" output. Getting "2 2" is trivial.

I believe in the `write2Decimals` function should be `+ 2*n` instead `+ n` ?

Enjoyed your presentation on code as an artist medium. Truly leads to a discussion on what is... and how is...! I disagree with that mathematician's quote of listening vs doing. I think the bigger point is level of involvement as the consumer versus being the creator of the content. I did really like the "proofs from the book" ideas. Paul Erdos still having an effect on art and science. So many aspects to consider when thinking about Aesthetics.

For backwards compatibility, can you beat Fortran? Still can compile early 70s FORTRAN IV code…

I am also a Matt, and I also played and administered muds at around the same time (although ours were Envy-based rather than ROM based), and even today I have a fondness for Telnet and terminals. Awesome stuff!

Matt playing MUD? Gold

Thank you, this was entertaining as well informative!

Oh, lovely, DikuMUD. The source code license that will take you to court for having a donation link for server costs in your game.

I didn't know Bruce Dickinson was a C++ programmer.

Diku was probably the grandfather of MUDs; I think almost every MUD was based on it. I'm glad that Matt let me time travel a little bit back to my youth and think about MUDs :)
