Cpp2, with Herb Sutter

Herb Sutter joins Phil and Timur. We catch up on the news about LLVM 16 being released, a new book on initialisation in C++ and a couple of new user groups. Then we talk to Herb about his new language/ alternate syntax, Cpp2, which compiles down to C++ in much the same way that C with Classes compiled down to C.
