C++ Mixins
summary
Claims a composition system for bare‑metal C++ that replaces virtuals with static interface mixins and implementation mixins found by ability tags, implemented via a factory alias make_mixin, ADL for for_each and an access/protect cast trick. Demonstrations target microcontrollers and a 100‑widget tree that compiles in about a minute with tiny release size; profiler comparisons claim vendor drivers lose by orders of magnitude (he cites ~300×). Works functionally but leaves hard problems: constructors, debug bloat and confusing template errors.
