Python coroutines are a mess because they were added to the language a little bit at a time. There are even multiple syntaxes (how unpythonic) for doing using them, generator-style and async/await. >> - Concepts. (Cool, but most of you won't ever write one.) I haven't used them in C++, but in Haskell they're called "type classes" and people write them all the time. They are important. Does Ada have something similar? In C++ it might be that writing them is done mostly by library implementers. But then they help the users by decreasing the hellishness of templated classes. >>Apparently GCC will be getting contracts and reflection "soon". > I can't wait for contracts and reflection in C++! Contracts seem like a good thing. They're important in Ada after all. Reflection, that I don't know about. That said, the video of Herb Sutter's talk showed an audience of old bald-headed guys, almost like a Lisp conference. For better or worse, Rust seems to have all the energy now.
