Slide 61:

- Be open minded: faster CTFE opens doors
  - Generating procedural content at compile time
  - "If you build it, they will come"

There are many applications for compile-time computation, this small thread discusses about applications of a compile-time constraint solver:

The question:

C's type system can be seen as a constraint checker; Haskell's as a constraint solver. If you had a general purpose constraint solver at compile-time what could you use it for other than type checking?<
