Moving an Existing Project to C++ 20 for Fun, Beauty... and Results!
<p>So our company has an existing codebase and decided to make the move to C++20. What does that mean?</p> <p>Taking (a deliberately reduced version of) an existing, real-life system, a system that works and has evolved over time with its strengths and downsides, we will see how using some of what C++20 has to offer can change the ways in which we program and how we look at the code we write. Maybe this will even make our code more pleasant to read... and faster to run!</p>
