See the range_v3 library, which is on it's way (albeit slowly) to becoming part of the C++ standard. It provides C++ versions of range, as well as most of the iterator combinators in the itertools library.

Agreed, this is a massive fuck-up by everyone involved (Altman, Cruise Board of Directors, Spark Capital, etc). Even if the claim has no merit it should have been dealt with long ago, before the company got to this stage. Now all the employ

Well, you're also doing a random insert. That workload will always perform better on an LSM tree when compared to a B/B+ Tree (used by the non-LevelDB engines). Can you post sequential read/write benchmarks in addition?
