Hello fellow Boosters,
For those interested in Concepts, the C++0x feature that provides improved type-checking for templates and a host of capabilities that we all try to emulate with template trickery today, my recent Google Tech Talk on Concepts is available on Google Video:

For a more in-depth introduction to concepts, come to ACCU 2007's Future of C++ track (http://www.accu.org/index.php/conferences/ accu_conference_2007) or, best of all, come to BoostCon 2007 (http:// boostcon.com) for the half-day, hands-on Concepts workshop.
I'm not too familiar with the upcoming standard proposals. After this talk I feel I could go and reimplement most of my template libraries with concepts fairly easily. So kudos to you. One thing that is central to the STL that I might have missed from this talk is complexity guarantees. Is there a way to promise STL's big O complexity guarantees with concepts? Thanks, Michael Marcin
