Why would someone avoid Boost?
- gdxhyrd 7y agoSome of its libraries are overengineered, som kill your compilation times, some are nowadays not needed anymore since they got merged into the standard and others are simply worse compared to other libraries.
- louiz 7y agoIt’s a very heavy dependency, in many ways.
- Piezoid 7y agoI have seen a library with a copy of boost in the include folder. Client code is forced to use this outdated version and must avoid transitive dependencies to boost. Please don't do that.
