Closing Keynote: C++ Development Development Tools: Past, Present and Future - Marshall Clow - C++Now 2024
---
We are tool-using animals. We create tools to improve our lives. As C++ software developers, we use tools to make better software. They enable us to do things that we have never done before. But they also limit the things that we can do.
In this talk, I will explore the history of C++ development tools, talk about how people have dealt with limitations in their tools (including writing new tools), and how the last decade has seen an explosion of new, more powerful C++ tools.
New tools are being written all the time. What does the future hold? More tools, certainly. Better tools, certainly. But what kind of tools? I don't claim to know the future, but I will offer some (hopefully) thought-provoking ideas.
