The C++ programming language is used for operating systems, web browsers, games, embedded software, autonomous cars, medical technology, and many other applications. In 2020, major companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and many others relied on C++ to run their data centers, and likely they still do.
Since its inception over four decades ago, C++ has expanded many times with performance, efficiency, and flexibility of use as its main design highlights.
When C++20 became generally available in December 2020, we talked to a panel of C++ experts, evangelists, and devotees from both sides of the pond to understand a little more about C++ – its current position in the development community, its history, and its future. Much of what we learnt then is still relevant today.

At KDAB, we’ve fine-tuned the migration process over more than 15 years, successfully migrating software from a wide variety of frameworks – with the majority migrating to Qt. Based on our experience, we know that regardless of the framework, operating system, or language, all migrations share common steps that ensure success and have common pitfalls that derail the best of efforts.
This whitepaper distills our expertise in a short but detailed guide to help you effectively evaluate whether a migration makes sense for your current system, and to help you outline and execute your own.
