Design by Introspection

Explore a groundbreaking programming paradigm called Design by Introspection in this 48-minute conference talk by Andrei Alexandrescu at NDC Conferences. Delve into the three key tenets of this innovative approach: the rule of optionality, the rule of introspection, and the rule of elastic composition. Discover how these principles can be applied to build powerful software and potentially revolutionize the way code is written. Learn from Alexandrescu's early experiences with this paradigm, which offers a fresh perspective distinct from traditional programming paradigms such as procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Gain insights into how Design by Introspection can lead to explosively productive coding practices and understand its potential impact on software engineering.
