Lambda There's been a bit of discussion about FC++ lambda on the Boost list, so I think it is pretty well-understood at this point. The documentation (and some prior discussions) explain the differences from boost::lambda. There are occasionally cases where I think FC++ lambda expressions are better[*] than boost::lambda expressions, but in most cases, boost::lambda provides the most concise solution. [*] where "better" means shorter, easier to read/write, or other intuitive measures of "goodness" Monads depend on lambda; in my opinion, over the long term, I think monads will be the main "selling point" that makes it worth keeping fcpp::lambda around in addition to boost::lambda. -- -Brian McNamara (lorgon@cc.gatech.edu)
