So will TMP scale? Definitely! Will there be a future for Phoenix and other template heavy libraries? Unequivocally YES!
At the very least I would say: Phoenix3 is ahead of its time. Thomas Heller did an amazing job! Ugh, these valid concerns about compile time and space are ... valid. Yes, it'll get better over time, Joel's right, but there are things that can be done today. Proto and Fusion can be preprocessed like MPL. Proto can use variadic templates and rvalue references where available to bring down the number of overloads. Things /can/ be better today. If only there were more time.
Or some volunteers? What about trying a GSoC on this ?
