Alexandrescu at the 2009 ACCU conference.

Andrei Alexandrescu (born in Romania) is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on advanced C++ programming.^[1] He is particularly known for his pioneering work on policy-based design implemented via template metaprogramming. These ideas are articulated in his book Modern C++ Design (Addison-Wesley, 2001, ISBN 0-201-70431-5) and were first implemented in his programming library, Loki. He also implemented the "move constructors" concept in his MOJO library.^[2] Alexandrescu is currently a graduate student at the University of Washington, researching speech recognition. He contributed to the C/C++ Users Journal under the byline "Generic<Programming>"

More recently, Alexandrescu has been assisting Walter Bright in the development of the D programming language. He is expected to release a book titled The D Programming Language from Addison-Wesley in October 2009 (the title will be available in Rough Cuts in June).^[3]
