Facebook has open sourced Folly, its core C++ Library and the
foundation of all of Facebook's C++ code. Folly builds practical,
efficient, and novel components on top of the standard library.
Facebook engineer Dave Watson will do a deep dive on the core
components, and investigate how they have changed over time. We will
compare its design with previous talks and proposals, and highlight
insights learned from real-world usage in Facebook's large production
codebase.

Topics include:
* Singletons in a world with fork
* Useful ThreadLocals
* Pragmatic exceptions
* Easy type conversions
* Optimizing primitives, such as shared_mutex, vector, and atomic_shared_ptr
