Sorry C++, but Our Package Manager is in Another Castle

C++ has a long history, but still, there is no common package/dependency manager for C++. We'll discuss existing solutions, pros and cons, and will show problems of managing dependencies in C++, also, the things to look out for.

This talk will be useful for developers looking to pick a way of managing dependencies in C++, those who interested in hidden gotchas and just curious people about why C++ hasn't the standardized package manager yet.
