I didn't check it out yet due to my system being busy doing something else

How do you define pleasing?<br>
<br>
Perl's CPAN is far more useful than pretty much any other
language/library, so I'm not sure we can show good examples, without
writing examples for most of CPAN.<br>
<br>
For the Boost library (aka C++), how do you show that compile-time
compilation is taking place?<br>
<br>
And if you like the Java's acronym soup, then a single 80x25 isn't
going to cut it...<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm somewhat of a fan of the GNU Hello world example... ;)<br>
