What we’re about
Interested in C++ present and future? Want to improve your skills and knowledge - or just hang out with like-minded individuals?
This group is part of the worldwide network of C++ experts, professionals and amateurs who like to discuss the state of C++, what we can do with it, and how we can do it better. We welcome people from *all* parts of the community - very much including those that identify as minorities.
Our aim is to meet once a month with talks and potentially other activities.
If you'd like to present please fill out this simple form.
Our ground rules are documented in the Berlin Code of Conduct
Videos for many of the previous events can be found on our You Tube channel. Older videos are mostly hosted on the SkillsMatter site (you'll have to search for them - or individual URLS are given on the event pages here).
Upcoming events (1)
See all- C++ compilers, Haskell and Pizza!Ripple Marketing, London
Here we go again London's C++ enthusiasts!
This time you are very welcome to join us for two full length talks, pizza and drinks.A big thanks to Ripple, who are hosting us again this month.
Note that, as per usual now, we'll need your full name for the door list and you should bring matching ID. We'll ask for the name when you register. This data will only be used for the door list and not published anywhere.
If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at cppldn.uk/speak.
Here's the full schedule:
18:30 Doors open
19:00 "Intro and news" - Phil Nash
19:15 "Benchmarking C++ compilers" - Derek Jones
An extended version of these two blog posts
20:00 Pizza break
20:15 "Unlocking Functional Power in C++20: Lessons from Haskell" - Gabriel Valenzuela (via Zoom)
This talk explores how the functional programming principles of Haskell can be effectively translated into C++20, showcasing the use of modern C++ features to emulate Haskell's concise and powerful constructs. It's an opportunity to bridge the gap between two paradigms, enhancing your C++ development with insights from Haskell.
21:00 Conclusion

About the speakers:Derek Jones used to write compilers that translated what people wrote, moved on to static analysis to try to figure out what they intended to write, feature creep has led Derek to analysing everything about software engineering.
Derek's book "Evidence-based Software Engineering" is freely available here: http://knosof.co.uk/ESEUR/Gabriel Valenzuela is a Senior Software Engineer at Wazuh and a passionate C++ developer since 2019. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Software Engineering at Universidad Nacional de La Plata and teaches at Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Based in Córdoba, Argentina, Gabriel is committed to lifelong learning and contributing to the C++ community. He is actively involved in local tech initiatives, aiming to foster a vibrant C++ community in Córdoba through projects like C+rd+ba and RUNIC (Red Universitaria de Ingeniería en Computación).
