Rust Features that I Want in C++ - David Sankel - CppNow 2022

David Sankel discusses the features, tooling, and community aspects of Rust that would benefit C++ and how they might be adopted.

​Slides: github.com/boostcon CppNow Website: cppnow.org​ CppNow Twitter: @CppNow​ --- Rust Features that I Want in C++ - David Sankel - CppNow 2022 --- By many accounts, Rust is one of the fastest growing programming languages out there. While there are many factors fueling this growth, this talk will focus on the aspects of Rust that make it particularly attractive as a systems programming language. This covers tooling, community, strategy, and, of course, features. Throughout the talk we'll be revisiting the question, "Can we have this in C++ and, if so, how can we get it?" While we'll examine the practicalities of the ISO process and the limitations of backwards compatibility, there is a lot of optimism to be had. This talk assumes an intermediate level of C++ know-how and no prior knowledge of Rust. --- David Sankel David Sankel is a Principal Scientist at Adobe and an active member of the C++ Standardization Committee.
