That's not the case. C++ desperately needs a library like this, and
there's a reason cppcoro got very popular.

I got 82 stars & 128 unique clones so far.
The review and its announcement of course got some attention.

I am probably excluding users by requiring boost, and could get more
by making it optional.

We surely disagree on that, but I obviously think my library is great
and will attract users, especially younger ones that do not love
callbacks as much as you.

But you can be very sure, that I am absolutely confident that this
library would get users without being in boost and I would urge you
not to assume these kinds of motives.
