Bjarne Stroustrup discusses generic programming in C++, emphasizing its efficiency, flexibility, and representation of concepts, drawing from mathematical principles and integrating built-in and user-defined types. He addresses issues like implicit narrowing and range errors, advocating for concept-based generic programming over template programming for simplicity and safety. The discussion extends to the integration of concepts with object-oriented programming, the importance of partial constraints, and the potential of static reflection, concluding with a Q&A session addressing concerns about autocomplete, value arguments, interface design, runtime reflection, and the evolution of concepts in C++.
