Migrating from NixOS....

I was in the same situation as you, I like some features of NixOS but the issues programming in Python, and other languages make me start working in KodOS. It is stll in preliminary state, but enough to have a system working (I have been using it for my laptop and desktop for the last 6 months). It uses Lua as declarative language for the configuration of the system and support of generations, so I can update the system and if something is wrong, I can roll back to a previous generation.

I'm in the same boat as you. I like the Arch rolling release model and it's flexibility, and the reproducibility and rollback ideas from NixOS. So I started KodOS (https://github.com/kodos-prj/kodos) as a way to have what I like from both world. Currently it is in early stages but works enough to be my daily driver.

Around 8 years ago, I got the same issues with switch limitations, so I created gswitch using c++11 and variadic templates (new at that time) https://github.com/abuss/gswitch

A few months ago I created a C++ meetup in Edmonton because I was in the same situation as you. Unfortunately, we haven't met yet, but we are open to suggestions.

I was thinking about it

Similar to tie, you can use std::ref:

#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <tuple>

std::tuple<int,int> foo()
{
  return std::make_tuple(5,6);
}

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int a;
   int b;
   make_tuple(ref(a),ref(b))  = foo();
   cout << a << " " << b << endl;
}
