- Does anyone out there have any experience, pro or con, regarding the Booch
- Components libraries? I've seen positive magazine articles for both it and the
- Rogue Wave libraries, but nothing on the net. From what I understand, Booch
- Components use templates extensively, but apart from requiring a compiler with
- template support, I do not have a feel for this being good or bad. Is code
- bloat from instantiated templates a problem? How about flexability?
-
- I understand that Booch Components have evolved from Ada libraries and Rogue
- Wave follows more of a Smalltalk approach. Not knowing Ada or Smalltalk I do
- not have a feel for relative advantages/disadvantages. Any comments?
- (No, I'm not deliberately trying to start a flame war :-) )

- Thanks,
- Dave
