C++ Error Handling Revisited

Explore error handling techniques in C++ inspired by functional programming concepts from Haskell in this 58-minute conference talk. Delve into the challenges of managing side effects and errors in software development. Examine Haskell's elegant approach to error handling, including the Maybe type and bind operator. Learn how these concepts have influenced other languages and can be applied to C++. Investigate C++17 features that support functional-style error handling, such as std::optional and std::variant. Discuss the limitations of current C++ language constructs in fully implementing these patterns. Gain insights into improving error management in your C++ projects by drawing inspiration from functional programming paradigms.
