Presenter: Patrice Roy

Abstract:
People often complain about C++: to some, it's not memory-safe enough, not type-safe enough. Some will tell you that some (or all!) of its defaults are wrong. Many complain that it's too expert-oriented.

There's often a grain of truth in these criticisms, and C++ surely has a bit of each of these alleged warts; it's a language that has a long history, which has evolved organically over the years.

This talk is about some of the things C++ does right. It does not aim to provide an exhaustive list (far from it!), or to throw arrows at other languages (although there will be comparisons), nor does it aim to offer an apologetic perspective on C++. This talk is about some of those things one misses when using other languages, and aims to remind us of some of those things that make C++ a beautiful, fun and efficient language.
