Episode 29: We’ve Dropped the ‘M’ Word - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

Recorded May 18th 2018

In this episode we discuss Herb Sutter's new proposal, p0709, "Zero-overhead deterministic exceptions", a.k.a. "Static Exceptions" - and a couple of supporting proposals from Niall Douglas (p1028 and p1029).

We talk about what the proposed feature is, how it works, and why it is so signifiant. Find out why Jon is, "really excited" about it!
