Lightning Talk: What Does It Take to Implement the C++ Standard Library? Follow-up: Mandates vs Constraints? - Christopher Di Bella - C++Online 2024
A few people expressed some confusion after my keynote about why using requires-clauses were bad, and were possibly under the impression that I was saying "don't use requires-clauses". After some reflection, I realised that I accidentally skipped over some important content due to institutional knowledge and want to clear this up.
This lightning talk will recap the specific section in ~60s, introduce the idea of "Words of Power" in ~60s or less, and contrast the Words of Power "Constraints" with "Mandates".
