November Talk: René Richter "any optional variant: C++17 vocabulary types"

Hello lifelong C++ Learners,

René Richter will give his talk at our traditional location the Wu5 student club for our November meetup.
He will answer the questions:

"How did we get there and how to use them?"

Abstract:

Every programming languange comes with a system for data and types, static or dynamic, strict or relaxed.
To understand where we did come from might affect our ability to go on in with modern C++.
In 2017 optional<T>, variant<Ts...> and any were introduced.
The (short) presentation is intended to start a discussion around:

• How do these vocabulary types fit into the type system? 
• Is the type system now complete? 
• What about the proposed Expected<T,E> and other ways to return function results / exceptions in future versions of C++? 

Please feel invited to join the discussion afterwards.

Date: Thursday, 8. November 2018
Start: 20:00
End: 22:00
Place: Studentenclub Wu5, August-Bebel-Straße 12, 01219 Dresden

Cheers!
Andreas
