Compile-time versus execution-time tradeoffs get visible if a great deal of template metaprogramming is used.

  • Template metaprogramming allows the programmer to focus on architecture and delegate to the compiler the generation of any implementation required by client code. Thus, template metaprogramming can accomplish truly generic code, facilitating code minimization and better maintainability[citation needed].
  • With respect to C++ prior to version C++11, the syntax and idioms of template metaprogramming were esoteric compared to conventional C++ programming, and template metaprograms could be very difficult to understand.[1][2] But from C++11 onward the syntax for value computation metaprogramming becomes more and more akin to "normal" C++, with less and less readability penalty.
