Explore the power of "strong types" in C++ to enhance code clarity, reduce bugs, and potentially improve performance. Delve into motivating examples and various techniques for creating strong types, from simple approaches requiring no library support to more sophisticated open-source solutions available on GitHub. Examine the impact of strong typing on both production and test code, and critically evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different implementation strategies. Gain insights into leveraging C++'s robust type safety guarantees through knowledge and disciplined coding practices, ultimately leading to clearer, more reliable, and potentially more efficient code.
