Safe, Fast, and Contiguous: Navigating std::span and Ranges

Hello all!

Welcome to our first meetup of 2026. This is a placeholder for the event that will take place on the 28th of January.

Marios Aspris will talk about std::span and ranges in his talk.

We are kindly hosted by Quokka this evening.

Abstract
Modern C++ is all about "zero-overhead abstractions" and safety. In this session, we focus on two of the most powerful tools in the modern toolbox: std::span and the Ranges library.

Span: Learn why std::span is the ideal interface for functions that need to work with arrays, vectors, or buffers without taking ownership.

Composability: We'll demonstrate how to chain operations like filter and transform to
process data without creating temporary containers.

Real-world Examples: No abstract theory here—just concrete slides and code snippets.
