Basically EA took STL and optimized it for game development.  Afterwoods 
they wrote this paper and sent it to the STL committee.  Many of the 
concepts/suggestions are not game programming specific.  I think D and 
D's standard libs may be able to learn something from this.

The latter might be a bit forbidding to anyone not familiar with C++ 
STL, and too detailed and long anyway to be read on-line.

The former, however is definitely something all of us might want to read 
soon. It contains accessible insights into library development, 
programming, and optimizing. And real-world issues presented by an 
authority on the nitty-gritty of actual coding, much of which is 
applicable in domains other than only games programming.
