The formal review for FC++ has completed. I am sorry to say that FC++ is not accepted into boost at this time. It may be possible for the library to be accepted in the future, but not without changes substantial enough to warrant an additional review.
I want to thank Mat for putting in the time and effort to manage the review, and again thank all the people who contributed comments. Even if the library isn't accepted now, I think a number of good ideas were exchanged, and I am glad for it.
I will be busy trying to finish my PhD and find a job in the next couple months, so it will be a while before I can work on FC++ again with any substantial effort. (In the meantime, if anyone else wants to "break off one of the more interesting pieces" of FC++ and work on that for Boost, let me know. :) )
Hi Brian, I've just finished (minus docs) a new version of Phoenix, which will be the basis of the phoenix-LL merger planned a long time ago. {{To those who are interested, it's in the Spirit CVS, PHOENIX_V2 branch}}. I'd be very much interested in collaborating with you. I think the best route is to build on top of a common core. Phoenix-2 is already built on top of MPL and Fusion (tuples + algorithms). The way I see it, there are lots of commonality between LL/Phx and FC++ that can be fused into a core: +-----------+----------+ | LL/Phx | FC++ | +-----------+----------+ | FP core | +----------------------+ | Fusion | +----------------------+ | MPL | +----------------------+ Tell me what you think. FC++ has been very influential in my style of programming. I'd be honored to help make FC++ a part of boost someday. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
