Abstraction Layers are one of the strongest tools we're using for software development. This is being taught during CS undergraduate and is widely used throughout the everyday workflow of software developments. During this talk, we will define and explore the C++ abstractions layers, and will also identify past mistakes and ground rules, including using examples from the latest C++23 and C++26 standards' features. Finally, we will review a proposal for addressing ISO C++ WG21 committee work.
This is an exploratory talk, and audience participation is highly encouraged!
