So what I was trying to say was, the point at which I will veer away from pp-based programming to other tools happens earlier than others'.
FWIW, long ago I veered away and found it to be much worse over in that world. I wrote a special Python-based code template processing engine to generate code for Boost.Python. The result was that -- despite my best efforts -- the inputs were not significantly more readable or debuggable than what I have today using the PP, and the result had significant disadvantages. I'm very happy to have Boost.Python back in the 100% C++ land it occupies today. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
