Haha, me too.  I heavily use templates, CTFE, static-if, and
compile-time introspection (DbI rocks!).  Without these, I might as well
crawl back to C++. Or swallow the bitter pill and go back to plain old C
(as I have to at work).  I was about to say Java, but that pill would be
too bitter to take even in the face of C++'s flaws and C's lack of
safety, so no.  :-P
