From C++ Templates to C++ Concepts - The Amazing Journey of Metaprogramming

Embark on an enlightening journey through the evolution of C++ metaprogramming in this CppCon conference talk. Explore the progression from C++ templates to concepts, tracing the history of metaprogramming techniques from C++98 to modern standards. Discover how each iteration of the language has simplified and improved code readability, with a focus on developing a container concept. Gain insights into template metaprogramming fundamentals, witness the benefits of newer C++ standards through numerous code examples, and learn how C++20 concepts streamline complex metaprogramming tasks. Delve into advanced topics such as function templates, overload specialization, constraints, traits, and periodic templates, culminating in a comprehensive understanding of container concepts and their implementation across different C++ versions.
