Ada-style Ranged Types in C++
Ranged types, common in Ada, allow the programmer to constrain a numerical type to a certain range. This article presents a library that brings these types to C++.

On the Tension Between Object-Oriented and Generic Programming in C++
Discusses how the use of generic programming in C++ can lead to conflicts with object-oriented design principles. Also demonstrates how a technique known as type erasure can often be used to resolve theseconflicts. An in-depth example is presented: any_it

Overloading and Overloading
Operator overloading may be syntactic sugar, but there are a lot of things that don't taste very good without sugar.
