How do we wield concepts to get effective usage? There's a lot of presentations talking about the technical details of concepts over the past few years, but far fewer delve into how to derive a concept in detail. Simply understanding how language features work isn't good enough: we need to know how to use them in order to get maximum effectiveness out of a feature.
What are concepts supposed to describe? What are patterns to follow and patterns to avoid? What's the difference between a "constraint" and a "semantic requirement"? What's the difference between a concept that's applied to a function and a concept that's applied to a type?
In this session, we will answer all of these questions, by studying an algorithm, identifying its requirements, and discovering a concept.
This session builds off themes from Andrew Sutton's Concepts in 60: Everything You Need to Know and Nothing You Don't, and Sean Parent's Generic Programming.ALL TALK SESSIONS CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE MAIN LOBBY:
