Template Metaprogramming is Fun
This talk should warm you up to the world of template metaprogramming: performing computations and making decisions at compile-time rather than run-time. We will briefly touch on some practical use-cases, but spend most of our time playing around with metafunctions through the prism of typelists. For example, we'll be able to sort a list of types -- at compile-time -- to automatically optimize tuple layout. Isn't that cool? We'll also make some advanced use of variadic templates and maybe even integer sequences.
