His book "Modern C++ design" is about the fascinating beautiful and downright frightening things that you can do with C++ templates. It is worth a read.

However, to support what Zed is saying, Scott Myers (of Effective C++) was astonished about some of the things done there.

C++ doesn't follow the principle of Least Astonishment in any way that I can think of. And that is not good.

Wow, had no idea he was at Facebook now.

Loki is neat, even if it does represent everything that is evil about C++.

He's also writing (I think it's almost done?) "The D Programming Language", which is pretty highly anticipated.
