I'm the one asking YOU for reasons why immutable interfaces should be used over mutable ones ;-) You are the one making a proposal in favor of immutable interfaces. Aside from being able to represent the functional paradigm in C++, what are the benefits from your point of view? I've read several papers, and I've used several similar libraries, but I want your experience stories because I respect your talent and experience.
I'm not making a proposal. I just stated my preference when I said "Me, I prefer the immutable and functional approach". Now, it might be worthwhile to invest some time in defending that. Maybe I would, when time permits, but certainly not to someone who starts going "Blech" the very moment he reads "immutable" or "functional". ;) Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
