Thanks, those are good articles. The topic on hierarchical state
machines was particularly interesting.

I wonder if one could implement a language that does to C++ what
C++ does to C -- abstract it upwards (C++ was even first
implemented as a C code emitter that a C compiler would then
compile). In this language, templates and signals/slots would be
first-class citizens, crossgrain/systemwide features would be
straightforward to implement, some desirable practices would be
easier instead of harder to do, etc. I see some of these ideas
being tried elsewhere in fits and starts but having the language
emit C++ code would let us use the existing compilation
infrastructure.
