🚨 Last Friday Hacks of the semester! 🚨
1) C++ as an Interpreted Language
Many would tell you that C++ is a compiled language, but did you know that it can be interpreted as well? In this talk, we explore the growing compile-time support of C++.

James Lim has been a C++ hobbyist for the last year and actively explores corners of the standard. He spoke at CppCon this year on how to utilise C++26 reflections and is happy to talk about C++ anytime 🙂
2) Applied Research in the Age of AI
How do we integrate AI, with its infinite wisdom and infinite sycophancy, as part of research involving real-world problems that may not have verifiable proofs?
