What kind of things, barring coding on Haskell-less platforms and<br>
library interfaces would you choose to do in C++?<br>
<br>
I'm asking 'cos I'm learning C++ and can't get the proper motivation to<br>
do any program I can think of in it: If I need abstraction, I'm<br>
thinking Haskell or Scheme, and if I'm thinking performance, C itself<br>
more than suffices.<br>
<br>
Plus template programming makes me shudder because of its atrocities<br>
against clear and straightforward FP, but that's a different matter.<br>
<br>
Coming to think of it, a compiler from a clean syntax to C++ templates<br>
sounds like a fun project... which I'd do in Haskell.<br>
