At BoostCon 2007, I was told that the functionality of Boost.Lambda was essentially present via Phoenix in Boost.Spirit. From what I can tell, both Lambda and Spirit/Phoenix will be present in 1.35, leading me to wonder what advice to give people who are interested in experimenting with the use of lambda functions in Boost. Are people to be encouraged to use Phoenix over Lambda, or are there features in Lambda that Phoenix doesn't have? I'll be giving an overview of some Boost libraries at the Software Development conference in March, and I'll be showing some examples of Lambda. If I should be telling people to use Phoenix for future work, I'd like to know that. Thanks, Scott
