Yup. In fact, boost is often a code smell, especially in modern C++. The standard library packs a great deal of functionality now, and things like boost threading aren’t needed anymore. Lambda functions (closures) and range-based for loops also greatly reduced the need for boost. It’s still useful, just not super critical anymore. You won’t feel like you’re missing out if you avoid it.
