Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++ -- Sandor Dargo
The Budapest C++ Meetup was a great reminder of how strong and curious our local community is. Each talk approached the language from a different angle — Jonathan Müller from the perspective of performance, mine from design and type safety, and Marcell Juhász from security — yet all shared the same core message: understand what C++ gives you and use it wisely.
Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++
by Sandor Dargo
From the article:
More than a hundred people registered, and the room quickly filled up with local developers eager to hear three technical talks. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming — it showed the strength of the C++ community in Budapest. In 2027, even WG21 might come to Hungary!
The evening began with Jonathan Müller’s talk, Cache-Friendly C++, followed by my own session on Strongly Typed Containers. Finally, Marcell Juhász closed the event with an insightful and hands-on presentation on Hacking and Securing C++.
In this final part of the tuple-iteration mini-series, we move beyond C++20 and C++23 techniques to explore how C++26 finally brings first-class language support for compile-time iteration. With structured binding packs (P1061) and expansion statements (P1306), what once required clever template tricks can now be written in clean, expressive, modern C++.
A long-delayed dream finally came true: after years of near-misses and lessons learned (“better to be invited than sent”), I made it to CppCon—and it was bigger, louder, and more inspiring than I imagined. In this recap I share the vibe of the week, five standout talks and ideas, a few notes from my own session, and links to recordings as they appear.
Registration is now open for CppCon 2025! The conference starts on September 13 and will be held
