ACCU 2024 Keynote Preview: Keynote: Safety, Security, Safety[sic] and C/C++[sic] by Herb Sutter
Kevin Carpenter from @cppevents sits down with Herb Sutter to discuss his upcoming Keynote talk for the ACCU conference, titled Keynote: Safety, Security, Safety [sic] and C/C++ [sic]
Join Kevin and Herb for a sneak preview of the opening Keynote for ACCU 2024!
Keynote: Safety, Security, Safety[sic] and C/C++[sic]
Scheduled for Wednesday 17th April during ACCU conference 2024!
As the world’s threats and dangers evolve, so too must our tools. Sometimes a tool can evolve sufficiently to be useful in a new environment. Other times, a tool has to be used less or exchanged for a different one.
This talk addresses several questions:
Why does the title say “safety” twice?
Why is “C/C++” an essential term to embrace, not avoid?
Is distinguishing “C vs C++” a True Scotsman problem?
What is recognizably “C++” as C++ continues to evolve?
Why hope for major improvement in C, C++, and C/C++?
Finally, the talk will also cover a few other updates about other C++ evolution (including reflection!) and from my personal ongoing experiment with my cppfront compiler.
About The ACCU Conference:
The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is "Professionalism in Programming", which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more. There are always sessions on TDD, BDD, and how to do programming right.
The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.

Always nice to see Herb! Why is the license of cppfront still NC? This will prevent it from being included in GNU/Linux-distributions once it gets ready unless you make all contributors sign a CSA and transfer all copyright to you.

And this, kids, is why you should buy a decent mike before recording videos

It is not that bad.
