    C++ really has three macro systems: C macros for strcat metaprogramming, C++ templates for constrained hygienic memoized metaprogramming, and overloaded functions for type voodoo metaprogramming arising from the lack of confluence among types and values.

        Confluence is the property that a compiler or runtime should produce the same results regardless of the order and amount of refinement it makes while checking or executing the program. Without confluence, it’s nearly impossible to evolve a type system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confluence_(abstract_rewriting) …

        Tim, one day I will have the knowledge to understand your tweets, but for now this looks like someone took the 15 biggest words from the wiki on programming and put them into a sentence. I'm going to trust that it makes sense and nod and agree

        hey Tim, you would probably be interested in @seanbax's Circle C++ compiler! completely new approach to metaprogramming system in a standards-compliant compiler. Sean applied for an Epic Megagrant a few months ago -- check it out!
