CLion 2022.2 Released

From July 18–20, 2022, I attended C++North, a new international C++ conference in Toronto, Canada. The first edition of this conference was eagerly anticipated, and it did not disappoint. Compared to some other C++ conferences, it was not a huge event – there were only about 180 attendees on site – but it was certainly a very high quality event. C++North grew out of the Toronto C++ User Group, and these local community roots were very noticeable, in a good way. The organizers were clearly proud of being able to host the conference on their home turf. Every morning started with a land acknowle

On July 25, 2022, the ISO C++ committee (also known as WG21) met via Zoom for a virtual plenary session. This plenary session was remarkable for two reasons. First, this was our last virtual meeting before we finally return to meeting in-person – the next meeting is scheduled for November 2022 in Kona, Hawaii. Second, it was the last meeting for approving new features for the upcoming C++23 standard. This means that as of now, C++23 is in feature freeze. The exciting news is that a lot of great features have made the cut! Thanks to the tireless work of the paper authors and committee subgroup

C++Now is one of the most academic events in the C++ calendar. Up in the mountains for a week in Aspen, Colorado, attendees dive into all kinds of profound C++ topics, from new language features and proposals to libraries and tools. C++ chats start at breakfast and continue until late at night in the bar. As the conference describes itself, the C++Now participants pushe C++ to its limits and let the community know what C++ will look like tomorrow and what we can do with C++ now! The C++Now 2022 edition was held in May. Not that many attendees were present, but luckily the great talks from the
