Explore the next generation of creating unnamed, inlined polymorphic function objects in this comprehensive conference talk from CppNow. Dive into Phoenix V3, a new library that combines the functionality of Boost.Bind and Boost.Lambda while addressing their limitations. Discover the importance and elegance of functional programming in C++ through a detailed overview of Phoenix's Domain Specific Embedded Language (DSEL). Learn how Phoenix emulates C++ syntax to provide an accessible entry point into functional programming. Examine practical examples of using Phoenix instead of traditional function objects and integrating it with legacy code. Gain insight into Phoenix's unique mechanism for handling expressions as data, opening up possibilities for future applications. Understand how Phoenix V3 enhances higher-order functions and customization in C++ programming, particularly in relation to the C++ standard library.
