Grace - Writing C++ In a more Modern Way

I can't see C++ purists really taking to this but those who have been learning other languages first then C++ might consider it. Grace is an attempt to hide some of the uglier parts of C++ programming and make it look a bit more readable. this snippet is from one of the examples.

    int main (void)
    {
        value greetings =
            $("world", "Hello") ->
            $("everyone", "Hi") ->
            $("you", "Hey") ;
            
        foreach (g, greetings)
        {
            fout.writeln ("%s, %s." %format (g, g.id())) ;
        }
        
        return 0;
    }


As well as the friendlier syntax it includes code for reading XML, CSV, INI files, JSON and is used in the OpenPanel project for ISPs. It's an interesting idea and worthy of a look. As usual I've added it to the C++ code library.
