Jason Turner's CppCon 2016 talk builds a simple Commodore 64 game using C++17, showing how constexpr and const let a modern compiler produce tight 6502 code. He walks through assembly output to show abstractions being optimized away.
Why HN recommends it: A perennial favorite, recommended as proof that expressive modern C++ can compile to efficient code even on tiny retro hardware.
