Trip report: February 2019 ISO C++ committee meeting, Kona, Hawai’i

by Timur Doumler

From the article:

What better way to start my new blog than to publish a trip report from the most recent C++ committee meeting on the wonderful Big Island of Hawai’i?

If you are looking for an incredibly detailed report of everything that happened, please instead head to this report by Bryce and others, and also see Herb Sutter’s and cor3ntin’s reports. I won’t try to provide this breadth of coverage, and instead focus on a few areas that are particularly relevant for me and the community that I am proxying here:

• Making C++ simpler, more uniform, and easier to teach;
• Providing developers with better tools;
• Improving support for low-latency and real-time(-ish) programming,
• 2D Graphics, Audio, and other forms of I/O and human-machine interaction.

That being said, let’s start with the big news: we voted both Coroutines and Modules into C++20!
