TMP gets even easier with some of the C++14 features, so much so that I keep wondering if I'll ever use MPL (or the type-computation-only portion of Hana) again.

I agree that pure-type computations are much less useful than they used to be. In fact, I don't think I've used the type-level part of Hana for a lot more than proving that it really works to skeptics. For actual work, it turns out that auto-deduced return type and algorithms on tuples can get you a long way before you actually need to mess with the type-level. Also, for really really small type-level computations, are usually all that's needed, and _any_ metaprogramming library would just get in the way. Just my .2 Regards, Louis
