The 10 Essential Features for the Future of C++ Libraries - Mateusz Pusz - ACCU 2025
---

C++ is a powerful language for building high-performance, flexible libraries. However, language and standard library limitations often hinder library developers from achieving their full potential.

This talk will unveil 10 critical missing C++ features that could significantly improve library development. By addressing common pain points and unlocking new possibilities, these features will empower developers to create more robust, efficient, and expressive libraries.

Through concrete examples from the quantities and units library, we'll explore how these features can:
Simplify complex generic programming,
Improve type safety without sacrificing functionality,
Enable more concise and expressive code,
Serve as building blocks for crucial new library features.

Some of the presented features are already proposed for standardization but have yet to be a part of the C++ standard. Others are still pure fiction, but hopefully, they will enter the standardization pipeline in the future.

Join us to explore the potential future of C++ library development and how these 10 features could shape the language for years to come, opening up new possibilities and revolutionizing the way we build libraries.

The ACCU Conference is the annual conference of the ACCU membership, but is open to any and all who wish to attend. The tagline for the ACCU is 'Professionalism in Programming', which captures the whole spectrum of programming languages, tools, techniques and processes involved in advancing our craft. While there remains a core of C and C++ - with many members participating in respective ISO standards bodies - the conference, like the organisation, embraces other language ecosystems and you should expect to see sessions on C#, D, F#, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Java, Kotlin, Lisp, Python, Ruby, Rust, Swift and more.The ACCU Conference is a conference by programmers for programmers about programming.
Discounted rates for members.
