Back to Basics: Functional Programming and Monads in C++ - Jonathan Müller - CppCon 2024

https://cppcon.org​ --- Back to Basics: Functional Programming and Monads in C++ - Jonathan Müller - CppCon 2024 --- Functional programming is a declarative way of writing programs by composing functions. In many situations, this can lead to code that is easier to write and understand and less error-prone. However, it requires a shift to a more functional mindset. This talk gives an introduction to functional programming in C++ using the modern standard library. We will cover algorithms using `std::ranges`, composable error handling with `std::optional` and `std::expected`, algebraic data types, and separating IO from computation. In the end, we'll even cover the M-word. --- Slides: https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2024/blob/main/Presentations/Back_To_Basics_Functional_Programming_In_Cpp.pdf Sponsored by JetBrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/ --- Jonathan Müller Jonathan is a Software Engineer at think-cell. There, he is responsible for maintaining think-cell's core libraries, which include a custom range library, a fast and convenient JSON parser, and many other utilities and data structures to write elegant C++ code. Before working at think-cell, he wrote many useful open-source C++ libraries. He is also a member of the C++ standardization committee, where he serves as the assistant chair for std::ranges, and a frequent conference speaker. --- CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community. You will enjoy inspirational talks and a friendly atmosphere designed to help attendees learn from each other, meet interesting people, and generally have a stimulating experience. Taking place this year in Aurora, Colorado, near the Denver airport, and including multiple diverse tracks, the conference will appeal to anyone from C++ novices to experts.
