Do you ? I've used Eigen and boost a lot of times and didn't ever need to "learn how the sausage is made", just looking at examples is enough to get stuff to work.
- ktpsns 9y agoWhether you look up examples or a reference documentation does not change the fact that ontop of a given language, you learn new concepts of a library. In contrast, domain specific languages have exclusive support for certain data types built right into the heart. There is a need for that.
