Coroutine Intuition
Roi Barkan
As one of the 'big four' new additions to C++20, coroutines allow us to rethink how we design and architect our functions, systems and code.
With no initial support in the STL, many of us are still hesitant to embrace coroutines and consider how to effectively use them to improve the readability, maintainability and composability of our creations.
In this talk, I'll explore and explain topics like stackless, cooperative asyncrony, generators and senders/receivers. Through many concise and different examples of coroutine usage, we'll gain intuition on which types of problems can elegantly be solved with coroutines, and how such solutions can lead to cleaner, safer code.
