If coding productivity is your problem then why are you using C++? Since you have established that speed of execution is not a major issue use a higher level language to code in which will give you far better gains then the library can ever hope to give you. Then code only the parts the profiler shows you is too slow in a lower level language. Ovverall you app should be developed probably 9-10x faster and perform with 5-10% the speed of your current app but would bbe far cheaper to produce. You can often even get it faster since the higher level code is easier to use more intelligent algorithms for.

Maybe because C++ can be one the best languages regarding productivity.
STL and generic algorithms is the key.

AHAHAHHA HAHHAHA HHHAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA

We did Eiffel in my first year of Uni, and everybody utterly HATED it..

They wanted to Java instead...

I have to agree, Eiffel does suck.

!!theObject.make();

Java bites and Eiffel's syntax is horrible. Just like Smalltalk: ugly as sin.

I have not seen any way that someone can be as productive in C++ as they can be in python. There are other higher level languages also that can also be more productive.

Speed improvements are important for embedded systems, where it might not be
possible to just get more powerful hardware. As far as I know qt is
the best for seamlessly going from desktop to embedded without having to
do a whole lot of work.
