Arthur O'Dwyer - Generic Lambdas from Scratch

Details
Abstract:
Lambdas (even those mysterious C++14 generic lambdas) are just syntactic sugar atop constructs that are perfectly understandable when approached from the right direction.
We’ll start with the implementation of C-style functions, then move to overloading, function templates, non-static member functions, and C++11 lambdas. We'll demystify C++14 generic lambdas (the kind with "auto") and cover some minor improvements to lambdas in C++17 and C++2a. Finally, we’ll detour into the implementations of std::function and std::bind to show how they’re different from lambdas.
