We Almost Always Get the Default Wrong - a podcast by Phil Nash & Jon Kalb

This week we chat with Vittorio Romeo about the pros and cons of backwards compatibility in C++, and his proposal to get the best of both worlds: Epochs.
As well as language compatibility, we also discuss _ABI_ compatibility - why breaking these things is such a problem, but how _not_ breaking them is increasingly becoming a problem.We also, finally, get an answer to the age of question of, 'how many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?'
