NYC Beman Hackathon

Adobe hosted an exciting and intense half-day Beman hackathon where we worked on adding new Beman libraries, addressed infrastructure issues, and brainstormed designs for the Beman website. It was awesome to collaborate in person. Here’s some of the awesome stuff that got accomplished:

• New Beman tagline: “Tomorrow’s C++ Standard Libraries Today”. Thanks Nick DeMarco for this great contribution!
• std::elide paper implementation from Robert Leahy, a first time contributor!
• Linus Boehm made some great progress creating a std::indirect/std::polymorphic Beman library.
• We had several discussions on the future of the exemplar library.
• River Wu identified root cause of an ASAN hanging issue.
• Eddie Nolan and I sketched out a rough design for the new website.

Overall it was productive and a ton of fun. Thanks to Robert, Eddie, Linus, River, Nick, Bret, and Robert for participating!
