For your in<format>ion

In this talk Victor will give a comprehensive overview of the the {fmt} library and the C++20 formatting library based on it. He will present a series of examples illustrating all major features (depending on the available time) such as:

• Format string syntax;
• Support for user-defined types;
• Formatting of chrono times and dates;
• Code bloat prevention via type erasure;
• Iterator support;
• I/O;
• Support for terminal colors and text styles;
• Unicode support;
• Compile-time checks;
• Fast integer and floating-point formatting;
• Locale support.

The target audience is C++ developers interested in text processing, formatted I/O and new C++20 features. The main takeaway for the audience is understanding the powerful and efficient formatting facilities available in the modern C++ via open-source libraries such as {fmt} and soon in the standard libraries.
