Lightning Talk: std::move & Spirited Away: When Nameless Objects Walk the Spirited World - Siyu (Alice) Peng - CppCon 2025
---
This imaginative C++ talk parallels Spirited Away with std::move, showing how moved-from objects lose their “identity” yet remain valid—just like Chihiro becoming Sen.
Through this metaphor, the presenter reveals that std::move doesn’t actually move—it casts to an rvalue, signaling an expiring object. A poetic journey through move semantics, object lifetimes, and the art of regaining one’s name in modern C++.
