+    - title: "C++ as a service - rapid software development and dynamic interoperability with python and beyond"
+      speaker: "Dr. Vassil Vassilev"
+      description: |
+        The C++ programming language is used for many numerically intensive
+        scientific applications. A combination of performance and solid backward
+        compatibility has led to its use for many research software codes over
+        the past 20 years. Despite its power, C++ is often seen as difficult to
+        learn and inconsistent with rapid application development. Exploration
+        and prototyping is slowed down by the long edit-compile-run cycles
+        during development.
+
+        In this talk we show how to leverage our experience in interactive C++,
+        just-in-time compilation technology (JIT), dynamic optimizations, and
+        large scale software development to greatly reduce the impedance
+        mismatch between C++ and Python. We show how clang-repl generalizes
+        Cling to offer a robust, sustainable and omnidisciplinary solution for
+        C++ language interoperability. The demonstrate how we have:
+          * advanced the interpretative technology to provide a state-of-the-art
+            C++ execution environment;
+          * enabled functionality which can provide native-like, dynamic runtime
+            interoperability between C++ and Python; and
+          * allowed utilization of heterogeneous hardware.
+
+        The presentation includes interactive session where we demonstrate some
+        of the capabilities of our system via the Jupyter interactive
+        environment.
