Episode 30: You Didn't Give Me Enough Time to Explain It Shortly - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

Recorded May 24th 2018

More proposals! This time the main topic is p0847r1, "Deducing this", authored by our guests, Gašper and Ben, along with Barry Revzin and Simon Brand.

This proposal is a simple idea, that works by allowing you to make explicit something that has always been implicit in the language. Yet the consequences are many and far reaching - solving many little problems - and simplifying others.

Gašper also mentions another proposal of his, p1099r0, "Using Enum", which is another simple language change for added consistency, extra convenience and less verbosity - but otherwise narrower in scope.
