Hylo: A Safe Systems and Generic-programming Language Built on Value Semantics

Explore the evolution and potential of Hylo, a safe systems and generic-programming language built on value semantics, in this keynote presentation from C++ on Sea 2024. Delve into the language's foundation on strict mutable value semantics (MVS) and its implications for safety, ease-of-use, and efficiency. Learn about the progress made in Hylo's design, compiler development, and standard library creation since its introduction two years ago. Discover the ambitious goals for Hylo's widespread adoption in production environments. Gain insights into the essential design elements of Hylo, recent developments, and the future roadmap for this innovative programming language. By the end of this talk, envision an inspiring future of programming and consider how you might contribute to shaping it.
