C++ expert who designed the Chrono date/time library. Went through four C++ committee cycles to get progressively more of Chrono into the C++ standard. His design constraint was full type safety for time units without any runtime performance impact, so C++ developers would actually adopt it. Cited by Wójtowicz as a model of practicing what you preach: a rewrite grounded in a minimum set of principal abstractions.
