(hmm, I see it's April 1st today, but this is not a joke, just a serious post...)
In April 14th, in Tel Aviv (Google's building), Avi Kivity - of KVM and OSv fame - will present "Seastar", a new C++-based framework for writing super-efficient but highly complex and asynchronous server applications. Seastar is an open source (http://www.seastar-project.org/) library. It is based on the concept of "futures" (like in Node.js, just implemented in a much more efficient way). Part of the talk will also introduce futures, how Seastar implements them in C++, and how much C++ has changed in recent years from what you may remember about it. Surprisingly to some, C++ focus has shifted in recent years from classic "object oriented" programming with its familiar runtime overheads, to other paradigms (such as template-based "generic programming") which emphasise sophisticated compile-time processing with zero runtime overhead, allowing us to write complex code which still performs like hand-crafted assembly code.
