Agree. There are different tradeoffs, obviously, and it won't
suit all use-cases, but the ability to iterate fast through
highly performant and provably correct code is very striking.
If you manage your compile-time generics well -- i.e. using them
to generalize for use cases that you definitely have, rather than
premature generalization -- you can get a lot of power out of
this that really helps with _effective_ code re-use.
Compile time checks, contracts, and easy built-in unittests all
make a big help in being able to make changes to code while
maintaining confidence in its correctness -- again, making it
faster to get things done.
And the simple clarity of the syntax really helps compared to,
say, C++. It's much easier to write and much easier to read and
understand. So, once again, it's easier to move fast.

Not C++Now, I'm afraid. But will we see you at DConf? :-)
