I've stumbled across this article and it seems kinda interesting:

It looks like a cool way to improve object inheritance, but what are your guy's thoughts on it?

I use CRTP all the time - it is very handy.

I prefer it over dynamic inheritance.

Im not sure if I'm correct, but it seems like a way to pick and choose your super classes via templates. Is this right?

Yeah, pretty much.

I really enjoyed reading it, and after a few link jumps, and reading through other opinions on different ways to style objects, I'm content with the way I have my own set up. Although I am considering changing the way I have components communicate with each other.

Furthermore, it seems like a way to have a sort of "component system", but built at compile time instead of runtime.

Yeah, that's essentially what it is. I'm curious as to how different "Mix-Ins" communicate with each other.
