My motivation is learning enough about modern C++ to not make a fool of myself in front of an expert C++ crowd. :) If I hadn't known about boost::hana, I could have easily stressed D's compile-time features as if C++ did not have them.
Good point. People going to C++ conferences are probably more likely to use (or play with) such libraries than the I-just-want-stuff-done-C++ programmers.
Besides if hana has it then several C++ programmers either use hana or have their own equivalent of it.
Now I see that although as-always-less-readable, C++ has lots of compile-time features through boost::hana. For example, boost::hana has the equivalent of AliasSeq, and it's not too inconvenient.
I have seen that boost::hana has received praise in the reddit.com/r/cpp group. You might ask there for examples of open source projects that use it in production?
