Lightning Talk: Interfaces in C++ - Megh Parikh - CppCon 2023

I explain some of the ways to make interfaces, both static and dynamic in this talk, and how concepts can be optionally used.

huh? 🤨

The presentation isn't very clear (a result of the time limit maybe?), but I THINK I know what he's saying: There's a weakness in Concepts. Where it WOULD work without concepts, but doesn't with them. He's also suggesting a user-space fix.

This may be a great idea, but I'm not sure this was a good format to fully explain it.
This is a good way to get an audience, though. I would have liked it if Megh had written up an article about it and gave a URL for it at the end saying, "I go into more depth here, and would love for anyone interested to come discuss it further there." Then the presentation could have focused on a strong example of how this method produces better interfaces instead of a toy example.

Was hoping for some revelation like “hey C++ now has proper SIMPLE interface semantics like C# has had for over a decade, without some abuse of abstract classes or templates.” Maybe one day.
