[section Preface]
[:['["Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs.]]]
[:*--Niklaus Wirth*]
[heading Description]
Fusion is a library for working with heterogeneous collections of data,
commonly referred to as tuples. A set of containers (vector, list, set and map)
is provided, along with views that provide a transformed presentation
of their underlying data. Collectively the containers and views are referred to
as sequences, and Fusion has a suite of algorithms that operate upon the
various sequence types, using an iterator concept that binds everything
together.
The architecture is modeled after __mpl__ which in turn is modeled after
__stl__. It is named "fusion" because the library is a "fusion" of compile
time metaprogramming with runtime programming.
[heading Motivation]
Tuples are powerful beasts. After having developed two significant projects
(__spirit__ and __phoenix__) that relied heavily metaprogramming, it
became apparent that tuples are a powerful means to simplify otherwise tricky
tasks; especially those that require a combination of metaprogramming and
manipulation of heterogeneous data types with values. While __mpl__ is an
extremely powerful metaprogramming tool, __mpl__ focuses on type
manipulation only. Ultimately, you'll have to map these types to real
values to make them useful in the runtime world where all the real action
takes place.
As __spirit__ and __phoenix__ evolved, patterns and idioms related to tuple
manipulation emerged. Soon, it became clear that those patterns and idioms
were best assembled in a tuples algorithms library. __david_abrahams__
outlined such a scheme in 2002. At that time, it just so happened that
__spirit__ and __phoenix__ had an adhoc collection of tuple manipulation
and traversal routines. It was an instant /AHA!/ moment.
