Hylo: the safe systems- and generic-programming language built on value semantics
Two years ago at C++Now, with Dimi Racordon, I introduced the C++ community to Hylo (formerly Val), a language founded on strict mutable value semantics (MVS). MVS creates opportunities for safety, ease-of-use, and efficiency, while limiting tensions among those properties, and Hylo's design takes maximum advantage of that synergy. Since then, we've evolved the design, produced a working compiler and the bones of a standard library, and have made some compelling discoveries. Perhaps more importantly, though the implementation is still immature, we've moved past the phase where we describe Hylo as “experimental,” and openly acknowledge our ambitions to create a language that's broadly used in production.
In this talk I'll show the essentials of Hylo's design, discuss the progress we've made in detail, and look at the road ahead. By the end, you'll begin to see the outlines of an inspiring possible future of programming. You may even want to help create that future!
About C++OnSea 2024
C++ on Sea is an international C++ conference taking place by the sea, in the UK. Our venue is in Folkestone, Kent, near the entrance to the channel tunnel with stunning views across the English Channel.
New for 2024: we're running two pre-conference workshop days, as well as our usual three-day main conference. And we're back to four tracks!

Dave Abrahams
Dave Abrahams is a founding contributor of the Boost C++ Libraries project and the founder of the first annual C++ conference, BoostCon/C++Now. He is a contributor to the C++ standard, and was a principal designer of the Swift programming language. He recently spent seven years at Apple, culminating in the creation of the declarative SwiftUI framework, worked at Google on the Swift for TensorFlow project and, briefly, on the Carbon language, and is now a principal scientist at Adobe's Software Technology Lab, where our mission is to improve the code programmers write through research, education, and tooling.

The audio quality is refreshingly good for a remote interview,
with no visible microphones in frame. How did you do that?

Was thinking "Isn't that Mr std::rotate() scrolling through his Facebook feed"? :)
I so can't wait for Hylo 1.0 to come out.
Tremendously excited by the idea of a mutable value semantics "all the way down" language.
Actually, Featherweight Swift didn't support mutation so it did have "value semantics" ;) To be fair, the mutation was missing, though.
When is the video going to be posted? It was planned to take place on 3th July 2024.
Dave Abrahams presented this talk "live" at the cpponsea conference that was held last week. The video recording of the talk will be available in August '24.
coming from philosophy where the related/same notion seems to be intensionality, the idea of value semantics based programming is interesting to me
For newcomers C++ is a nightmare.
