The type provider looks at a sample of your data, creates a schema for it, and then provides the types and fetching infrastructure for you. I see this as a realization of Scheme's notions of first class citizenship, only this time for data.

Coding Elegance: Named Lambda Functions in C++

Level: 400
Robin Rowe

Since C++14 we can name lambda functions as variables. What does it mean that we can now design software treating functions as local variables? Is the anonymous lambda dead? No more functors either? We'll explore examples of named lambdas being used with C++ threads and the STL.
