Sequence-Oriented Programming
In a recent episode of CppCast, Tristan Brindle introduces developers to a safer alternative to iterators called Sequence-Oriented Programming (SOP). Brindle, a C++ consultant and trainer, also discusses his library called Flux, which implements this programming paradigm.
SOP focuses on composing sequences of operations instead of iterating over individual elements. This approach can lead to more readable and maintainable code, as it allows developers to express their intentions more clearly.
Flux, Brindle's library, provides a set of composable operations that can be chained together to form complex sequences. Developers can use Flux to perform various transformations and computations on collections of data.
To demonstrate the power of SOP and Flux, Brindle showcases code examples that highlight the benefits of this programming paradigm. By adopting SOP and leveraging Flux, developers can write code that is not only safer but also more expressive and efficient.
For developers looking to explore Sequence-Oriented Programming and Flux further, Brindle provides additional resources and links in the show notes of the CppCast episode.
