Boost dependency

Open vchernetsky opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Hello socket.io developers, this is just a general wondering. Are you guys planning in some near future to remove dependencies on Boost? The problem for me, and I'm sure for other people, is that Boost dependency makes this wonderful library not portable. I believe with latest advances in C++-11 there is no real reason to depend on Boost. Thank you.

Agree, with boost app deployment becomes much more complicated, especially to mobile or embedded devices. However if it is built on ASIO then think boost could be critical here. Is it possible to remove boost dependency?
