The fact that most of the prior FC++ documentation is directed at FPers is no accident; rather it's a function of research interest that FC++ generated and the publication venues that prior articles have appeared in.

As much as we'd like to avoid the "academia vs trenches" issue, from time to time it becomes pretty much impossible to ignore, and one of these times is now. FC++, as presented, just looks and feels too much a research project to the ordinary C++ practitioner. It would probably help a lot if its "sales pitch" did take into account the "trenches" viewpoint. Just my opinion.
