As much as we'd like to avoid the "academia vs trenches" issue, from time to
time it becomes pretty much impossible to ignore, and one of these times is
now.

FC++, as presented, just looks and feels too much a research project to the
ordinary C++ practitioner. It would probably help a lot if its "sales pitch"
did take into account the "trenches" viewpoint. Just my opinion.
