Type-Safe Interfaces with Modern C++ - std::optional – Use Cases

The video tutorial explores the use of ACD Optional in programming, highlighting its suitability for modeling simple failure cases and optional data. It discusses when to use ACD Optional versus alternatives like STD variant, especially in scenarios with multiple failure reasons. The tutorial also covers practical applications, such as reading optional data from configurations and controlling object lifecycles. ACD Optional is presented as a superior choice for performance and type safety, though not always the best solution when more information is needed.
