Consider submitting to Boost

Open HDembinski opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

This looks like a library that fits into Boost very well. Please consider submitting it.

I am somewhat hesitant about the prospect of potentially maintaining both a boost and non-boost version of the library, but I think you're right that it could fit quite well. I might check on the mailing list what people think. Not sure if being C++20-only or including a type list (I'm sure boost already has at least one of those) could pose problems.

If you do not depend on other boost libs (seems possible for you), then you don't need to maintain two libraries. Just instruct the users to download the headers for your library only. There are several libraries in Boost that can be used standalone, e.g. mp11.

Note that submitting to boost requires persistence and patience, but you also gain a lot of visibility.
