To give you an idea of the applications of Fusion, Phoenix (http://tinyurl.com/6crgp), Spirit-2(http://spirit.sf.net/) xpressive(to be released with Boost very soon now) use Fusion in various degrees in its foundations.

Joel, I think showing the zip_iterator example I've been using would be very instructive, if not entirely representative of the library's full power: http://tinyurl.com/mrgub

You could also link to these diffs to show how much simpler zip_iterator gets when we use fusion: http://tinyurl.com/qslyu

I'll send you a slide set that you could use for inspiration if you like.

Oh man, that would be awesome! Please! To be honest, I've been squeezing my brains inside out on an example like this to present. I thought about the properties code, event handling, etc., but all those are either not straight forward enough to be digested in one sitting or do not quite touch on the importance of the algorithms. Something like xpressive's "proto" library might have been a good candidate, but expression templates still seem to be too esoteric for general consumption. With materials like that and the slides you mention, I could write a motivational example in no time. Thank you! Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
