This is a post about Beman Lazy.

David Sankel’s talk on Beman at 2024 CppCon is now online! The presentation answers many questions about the project purpose and policies.

I met Beman Dawes when I attended my first C++ committee meeting in 1997. I wasn’t even a committee member at that time; I showed up at the meeting because I was trying to get exception safety into the C++ standard and Andrew Koenig had made it clear that arguing for it over email wasn’t going to cut it; I needed to show my face.
