Val and Mutable Value Semantics

Dimi Racordon joins Timur and Phil. They first have a couple more conference speaker calls, a new C++20 test framework, and and some updates about Safety in C++ and the C++ successor languages announced last year. Then they talk to Dimi Racordon about the new language, Val, how it relates to C++, and why mutable value semantics are so powerful.
