And former lead developer on Clang at Apple.


And former Boost and C++ standard committee contributor. In particular he was one of the main authors of the classic C++0x Concept proposal (as opposed to the concept-lite that eventually made it into the standard).


Many of the Swift features for generic programing and protocols are based on the way C++0x Concept proposal went down, as mentioned by Dave Abrahams in some of his interviews.
