Thanks, it seems so. GUI was never a strong part of C++ programming, but I intend to learn Qt both on Python and C++. I've some small projects in my mind. Also, I really want to be able to use ncurses on C++.

I have big C++11 code base I'm working on (sorry, can't give many details about it but it's a scientific code), and I may migrate to the new pointers, but I must do extensive testing on performance. Some parts of the code is very very sensitive and very hot, so fiddling with these parts affects just about everything.

Thanks for the pointer to the PawLIB. It really looks interesting, however it doesn't address any of my bottlenecks for now. If I find anything limiting, will give its data structures a try. I'm using Eigen for matrices and algebra, Catch for testing, and Easylogging++ for logging. They addressed what I need so far.
