This Is C++ - Exclusive Interview With Jon Kalb ( CppCon Conference Chair ) - C++OnSea 2024 Preview
summary
Argument centers on C++’s mandate to deliver uncompromised performance by accepting constrained programmer responsibility. Concrete claim: the right way to reason about move-from objects follows from C++’s model of undefined behavior—embrace defined paths for huge performance gains and avoid unsafe edges. Examples include performance tradeoffs, a ski-slope analogy, and concrete code patterns showing when moves must be constrained to remain safe code and when looseness costs measurable speed.
