Programming languages frequently need a generic model for iterating over arbitrary sequences, but different languages solve this problem in different ways.
This talk goes over the iteration models used by C++, D, Rust, and other languages, and compares and contrasts their strengths and weaknesses. Is one of them better than the others?

Barry Revzin
Barry is a senior C++ developer at Jump Trading in Chicago, a research and technology driven trading firm. After programming for many years, he got really into the nuances and intricacies of C++ by being unreasonably active on StackOverflow (where he is the top contributor in C++14, C++17, and C++20). A lot of his C++ knowledge comes from just answering questions that he doesn't know the answers to, especially when he answers them incorrectly at first.
His C++ involvement escalated when he started attending standards committee meetings in 2016, having written dozens of papers for C++20 and now C++23. You might know him from such features as explicit(bool), conditionally trivial special member functions and, recently approved for C++23, deducing this.
Outside of the C++ world, Barry is an obsessive swimming fan. He writes fun data articles for SwimSwam and also does analysis for the DC Trident, a professional swim team featuring Olympic Gold Medalists Zach Apple and Anna Hopkin, managed by two-time Olympian Kaitlin Sandeno.
