Thanks Eric for blessing us with this library. 

I think that the proto documentation is decently rich to serve the basic
and advanced purpose for now.

We will try to learn from it till someday you changes your plan to write
a Proto book.

 

In my opinion, the audience for this book will be no less than those who
have read BGL and MPL books.

 

I am hoping that under your mentorship someone will soon write the book.

And it will be like another organum in the spirit of Novum_Organum
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novum_Organum> .

 

I was terrorized to see the example in proto which implements a simple
lambda DSEL using proto.

It is a great code cutter I guess.

 

Do you think that the boost lambda will eventually be re-written using
proto in near future?

Or maybe the rest of the boost libraries(including GIL, BGL) will be
re-written too in proto?

 

Many a thanks for showing us the pinnacle of c++.

 

Cheers,

Chandra
