No I don't go to CPPCon but if you can get programmers to create better documentation by your talk there I am all for it.
I'm sort of pessimistic:
a) I don't think that most developers think there is a problem. That is that the documentation they create is just fine. b) If there is a problem, it's that the users aren't smart enough c) Hence, I think that most developers will read the abstract and conclude that the subject is trivial and doesn't hold any value for them.
For what it's worth: - I know that my documentation is incomplete - I am amazed by what users figure out - I just read your abstract. I won't promise to be in the room (there is just too much going on at CppCon), but it sounds valuable to me. I sincerely hope that you touch on expression templates, too. Seems to me I need concepts and metaclasses to describe them. Cheers, Roland
