Such a massive lib. Interesting, if not too extensive read.
I understand the FB rationale to have it, but what whould be a reason for other projects to adopt this lib?
I won't imagine maintaining such a lib as a dependency by ourselves. Maybe for one short-term purpose, but then it's still safer to go with standard or boost, or, God forbid, carve out some pieces and wrap them up.
- gjulianm 5y agoI've considered it for some special things, mainly the F14 hash table because I needed a highly performant implementation (I ended up writing a custom one that takes advantage of domain knowledge to go faster). It seems that it has classes and constructs not available in other libraries. A lot of them are very specific, but at that point having a reliable, tested, fast implementation of a complex implementation might be worth the hassle of bringing in a new dependency.
