Readable Modern C++
This talk focuses on how to optimise C++ code for being easily readable by average human developers, ideally being close to plain English. I will revisit best practices on naming, comments, and locality from a modern C++ perspective. Readability also means writing less code and avoiding repetitions and unnecessary noise. I will present practical use cases of modern C++ features that are especially effective to achieve this. I will finish the talk with an overview of new C++17 features aiming at more readable code, such as fold expressions, constexpr-if, and structured bindings.
