The Evolution of Functional Programming in C++

Explore the evolution of functional programming in C++ through this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2024. Delve into the history and development of functional programming paradigms within C++, examining how templates, lambdas, std::variant, and ranges have expanded the functional programming toolkit. Gain insights into how these tools enhance code safety, composability, and adaptability. Discover how modern C++ blurs the line between systems programming and functional programming, and get a glimpse into the future of performant, functional code in C++. Learn from Abel Sen, a functional and systems programmer, as he shares his expertise on leveraging functional programming concepts to create better software.
