Sometimes C++ is fasterSometimes C++ is fasterPosted Jun 18, 2008 21:10 UTC (Wed) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: Sometimes C++ is faster by flewellyn Parent article: Converting GCC to C++
I guess I should mention that this sort of compile-time dispatching is natural, without macros, in ML variants and in Haskell. Such languages can be good for coding compilers, given an implementation with a GC that respects cache locality. Recoding Gcc in Eager Haskell, it might take years before you got anything useful, but you'd learn a lot, and have a better sense of what the successor to Haskell should look like.
