Don't Constexpr All the Things

Explore the limitations of the constexpr metaprogramming model and discover a compelling alternative in this conference talk from CppNow 2021. Delve into the complexities of annotating code for compile-time or run-time suitability, and learn why the current approach may not be as accessible to novice developers as intended. Examine the circle metaprogramming model implemented in Sean Baxter's circle compiler as a more intuitive and powerful solution. Gain insights from David Sankel, a Software Engineering Manager at Bloomberg and active C++ Standardization Committee member, as he shares his expertise on large-scale software engineering and advanced C++ topics. Understand the potential impact of this alternative approach on the future of C++ metaprogramming and its implications for developers of all skill levels.
