Summary
This episode explores the technique of inheriting from lambdas in C++, a powerful but rarely used feature. Jason demonstrates how lambdas are standard C++ types that can serve as base classes, allowing composition of multiple lambdas with different signatures into a single callable entity. By creating a class that inherits from multiple lambda types and using the 'using' declaration to expose their operator() functions, the resulting object can handle various parameter configurations. The episode concludes by showing how C++17's class template argument deduction simplifies the implementation by eliminating the need for helper factory functions.
