Probably not, everybody have their own favourite subset. > > Chuck mentioned iterators as one advantage.

C++11 has this option: for (auto& item : container) { // iterate over the container object, // get a reference to each item // // "container" can be an STL class or // A C-style array with known size. } Which does this: for item in container: pass > Using C++ templates to generate ufunc loops is an obvious application, > but again, in the simple examples Template metaprogramming? Don't even think about it. It is brain dead to try to outsmart the compiler.
