Lightning Talk: A Journey Back In Time - C++ Evolution
summary
Forced to code on a borrowed laptop using pre-C++11 C++98 constraints, the presenter recreates a production feature under limits: no auto, no range-for, no structured bindings, no move semantics and no unordered_map. A map<string,?> refuses to compile, so implementation falls back to heap allocation, raw pointers and out-parameters; member initializers aren’t available either. The task takes three hours instead of two, the prototype works enough to impress the interviewer.
