Explore ten critical missing C++ features that could revolutionize library development in this conference talk from C++ on Sea 2025. Discover how language and standard library limitations currently hinder developers from achieving their full potential when building high-performance, flexible libraries. Learn about concrete solutions through examples from the quantities and units library that demonstrate how these proposed features can simplify complex generic programming, improve type safety without sacrificing functionality, enable more concise and expressive code, and serve as building blocks for crucial new library features. Examine both features already proposed for C++ standardization and conceptual ideas that may enter the standardization pipeline in the future. Gain insights into the potential future of C++ library development and understand how these ten essential features could shape the language for years to come, opening up new possibilities and revolutionizing library construction approaches. Presented by Mateusz Pusz, a software architect and principal engineer with over 20 years of C++ experience and active voting member of the ISO C++ Committee (WG21).
