Rob and Jason are joined by JF Bastien from Apple to discuss the San Diego C++ Committee meeting from his perspective as the chair of the new Evolution Working Group Incubator.

JF Bastien is the C++ lead for Apple's clang front-end, where he focuses on new language features, security, and optimizations. He’s an active participant in the C++ standards committee, where he chairs the Language Evolution Working Group Incubator (“oogie” for short). He previously worked on WebKit’s JavaScriptCore Just-in-Time compiler, on Chrome’s Portable Native Client, on a CPU's dynamic binary translator, and on flight simulators.
