I first heard Kevlin speak at SD West 2008 (Feb ’08) and was quite impressed. In this podcast, I think he does a great job of giving a honest and balanced view of C++. He goes beyond the simple “use the right tool for the right job” spiel and gives some really good insights into various language features.
Great interview – thanks!
What about the new C++ included with .NET?
TEHIII
That’s an impressive talk which provides a broad view of the language.
Thanks a lot!
