This week we chat with Harald Achitz about a new ISO mirror in Sweden,

We explore the underbelly of getting involved with standards work - not just the C++ one, as well as community building,

• The C++ user groups of Sweden- User groups in Sweden and worldwide

We're back! Again! And so is Dave Abrahams, after a long period outside the C++ community.

We end up getting some fascinating insights into the design and evolution of the Swift programming language,

This episode is slightly different to the normal.

The interview is around the future of C++, but also takes a look at its past and present.

In this episode we welcome back Tony and Klaus to talk about the SOLID Principles,

Tony is about to give a keynote at C++ Now about his take on the SOLID Principles.

Along the way we get plenty of SOLID advice, discover what the single responsibility is that Tony's objects have, what COLID is,

The answer, of course, is: it depends.

This week we get back on track and chat with Christopher Di Bella from Google about working on the Chrome OS toolchain -

We talk a bit about the practicalities of bringing C++ 20 features to compilers,

This week we have a special panel made up of members of the C++ community,

We also learn why Rust doesn't have random numbers, but why it's lucky to have Burnt Sushi.

This week we chat with Isabella (Izzy) Muerte about modules, build systems and more.

We segue into a discussion about modules, which Izzy was definitely down on a couple of years ago,

• retain_ptr- P0468 - An Intrusive Smart Pointer
• Lambda Expressions on cppreference- constexpr: explicitly specifies that the function call operator is a constexpr function. When this specifier is not present, the function call operator will be constexpr anyway, if it happens to satisfy all constexpr function requirements (since C++17)

This week we chat with Tony Van Eerd about what comes after Post Modern C++,

The off-by-one jokes are regular, or at least semi-regular, but what proposals has Tony killed?

This week we chat with a Conor Hoekstra, about dreaming in algorithms, being a programming language addict and writing beautiful code.

We look at what Conor is jealous of in other languages, why his competitive coding entry came dead last, and why he really likes sugar and dopamine. And is it really true that no-one is listening to Sean Parent?

Note that this episode was recorded over four months before editing, so the news items are a bit stale.
