There'll always be Hana, I suppose.
mp11 is not quite a competitor to Hana. True, they both do metaprogramming.
But mp11 is rather a replacement for the myriads of hand-rolled type-based
metaprogramming primitives scattered all over people's code; it's like a
collection of these same primitives, but done coherently and with an unified
naming convention. (And with, I suppose, proper-ish documentation and a test
suite.)
It pains me each time I see the same mp_wheel being reinvented, and each
time the standard library acquires an ad-hoc, arbitrarily named,
metaprogramming primitive. This has to end.
