One thing I still was lacking when I wrote and researched this was actual usage numbers.

So I've launched some surveys on LinkedIn/Twitter/Mastodon, and for now it seems to fall into a range of 44 - 80% of folks using/knowing them.

If you want to download the latest release

And... would CPM also work for boost dependencies?

Thanks, would be nice to get this going again, its been the url for like 20+ years. Tons of folks will have this in their RSS readers.

Sadly the RSS link broke, last build time is Oct 4th 2025: http://www.boost.org/feed/news.rss

you might want to fix that.

I've recently implemented that these questions get skipped when one is skipped. Got to test this again.

If you are looking for a longer, more detailed survey, Meeting C++ has you covered: https://meetingcpp.com/mcpp/survey/

I agree, this is such a gem this talk. But he gotta come back and show us some more of the code and how things work (or don't)...

Thanks to James McNellis to giving an introduction to this crutial technique for protecting C++ applications, which he has practical experience with. Link to an article for GCC and (mostly?) clang from 2022 for further reading. Would be interesting to know the status of this with GCC, but little can be found on the web.

For me this was a good and sound opening of the conference, a tone setting for lots of talks to come. Some things are subtle, like the mentioning of the software development standards in various fields. I think the announcement that they open source their software stack was then something that nobody had expected.

He must refer to the CppCon 2023 keynote, which has 180k views. Bjarne used to speak at CppCon every year, so its easy to mix this up, its news to me too.

And if you watch his talk, I do think he has a point. Not sure if thats a point that one can or should make in an interview.

Maybe some day Speakers will learn their lesson...

A bit weird is this list. Talks with 600 views in the Top15? Which conferences do you cover?

Meeting C++ 2024 seems not to count, and 2025 just started publishing (one talk though is already above 1k views), but thanks for including the interviews.

I've been thinking about such an event for years, and this year we're doing it! So today I can announce Meeting C++ 24h++!

Meeting C++ is organizing an 24 hour++ event on December 18th & 19th. Non-stop C++ content around the clock is the goal!

I know, I plan to offer this. I see it in my sales this year, and a survey on LinkedIn shows that 70% have either frozen budgets or budget cuts this year.

There will be also other up coming options.

Online tickets are available and include after conference access: https://ti.to/meetingcpp/meetingcpp-2025

I'm thinking about introducing youtube membership on my channel and releasing the prerecorded talks early there.

This has been fixed now with a reupload. So reload the website.

"I think we made fatal mistake" famous last words. Hope to get to hear the rest of the episode at sometime ;)

This took a long time due to adding a 5th track. Which is a first and might be only this year, but it brings much more content to the conference and community. So its been worth doing it.

Nice post. I've checked your RSS feed, and your URL in there is wrong, your domain is missing from the url, its only /blog/post/post.html.

This is sad news, it looked good when I visited Rainer in May. He had his new wheelchair, his voice had improved and he was full of optimism. Speaking about his C++26 book and how he was looking forward to the eye tracking for his wheelchair.

So his sudden passing fills me with grief, thanks for your friendship Rainer.

His contribution to the C++ community is exceptional. He leaves a void behind. My condolences to his family.

With Meeting C++ for November scheduled (in Berlin), we are organizing a new track right now for sponsors. Please contact me to discuss the details, I'd be also happy to host you in a User Group meeting at Meeting C++ online.

I think its a good deal. I've interviewed the authors of some of these books, and prior to the interview I've been reviewing the books. So for the ones I've interviewed I think that this is a good way to pick them up as an Ebook.

I think that some of the books do get to benefit from their authors, like the Memory Management book. Or the game animation programming book, but this one is rather specialized. I've interviewed the embedded C++ book author last month, and I think its a solid book to get started with the topic.

With your voting session you can contribute to the talk selection for this years conference. In total 107 talks are submitted by 73 speakers.

The voting stays open until Sunday, June 22nd. With the result a quick publishing of the selected talks should be possible by end of June. The schedule than should follow in mid July.

I'd like to see the roadmap to reflection ;)

For talks on C++26 and reflection I'm not sure if things are far enough this year. I do expect it to become a popular topic to speak about in the coming years though. Just as Coroutines or Modules these days.

I think its early days for all of them. Having a standard is one thing, getting it implemented accross the mainline compilers in a consistant way is another. Modules is a great example, still lots of progress to come for Modules.

And I like the idea of folks presenting on the interplay between features.
