Grill The Committee Panel
summary
Live Q&A with C++ standards committee leaders reporting what actually landed, what exists as TS and what has implementations now: modules, coroutines, Concepts and ranges in TS, std::variant/optional/any in C++17, work on stl2 and a new 2D graphics proposal. Concrete anecdotes include writing custom allocators with PMR patterns, lambdas replacing boilerplate, structured bindings simplifying code, and compiler upgrades yielding 15–18% speedup. Find entry points: paper submissions, study groups like sg14, and implementation repos on the CppCon GitHub.
