Expression templates sound very interesting. Could you give a quick summary or a link perhaps?

Hmm, isnt that just boost::lambda? I haven't used boost::lambda much yet, and i am not really proficient in functional programmign either, but could not the example form the page above: int main() { DExpr<DExprIdentity> x; // Placeholder evaluate(x/(1.0+x), 0.0, 10.0); return 0; } be written in boost:lambda as follows ? int main() { evaluate(_1/(1.0+_1), 0.0, 10.0); return 0; } If yes, what exactly can expression templates do that boost lambda cannot ?
