The Shape of the Value - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

This week we chat with David Sankel and Michael Park about their Pattern Matching proposal, as well as a language level variant. We look at how some judicious use of syntactic sugar can improve even the ugliest part of the sausage.
Pattern Matching (as well as the language version of Variant) are progressing well through the committee - potentially on track for C++23. We discuss how, when these land, they are going to impact every single developer - allowing us to inspect and handle values in a far more declarative way,We also talk a bit about CppCon, which was upcoming as we recorded, but already in the past as we release this episode.
