Is MPL a modern TEMPLATE library, in your opinion? I ask because compilation time is a very serious issue in the design of MPL. > Compilers are getting better, computers faster... > boost should be setting programming standards not > laging behind trying to accomodate some specific h/w > requirements. IMO it's nutty to think that people won't use every bit of compilation bandwidth they can stand, once they start to do computation at compile time. Why should it be any different from cycles at runtime? In many ways, the more modern a C++ library is, the more of a concern compilation times have to be. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
