Description:
|
|
Designing your own programming language is fun! It can also increase the expressiveness of your code. But did you know that you can host your little languages right in C++? Libraries like Boost.Spirit and the Lambda Library do just that with the help of templates and operator overloading. Come learn how you can easily create your own mini language-in-a-library, too. We'll talk about Boost.Proto, a new library that takes the pain out of working with expression templates.
