Explore a groundbreaking library that revolutionizes function invocations in C++ through this CppNow conference talk. Delve into a unified approach for invoking functions and function objects with dynamic argument lists, both at compile-time and run-time. Learn how this library generalizes C++17 facilities like std::invoke, std::apply, and std::visit, offering a clean and easy-to-understand syntax. Discover the potential applications for tuple and variant users, generic programming practitioners, and those interested in multimethods over closed type sets. Gain insights into the library's core algorithm, simple concepts, and how it can be extended through user-defined models. Examine a higher-level library built on these concepts and understand how this innovative approach can transform your perspective on function calls in C++.
