[epochs] Internal relevance in post-C++03 Boost of Boost03 components vs. standard equivalents
For those of you who are following the discussion on epochs, I've just prepared a report on the relevance of "legacy" components intra-Boost for these Boost libs that require C++11 (or higher) to work: https://github.com/joaquintides/boost_epoch/blob/master/boost_vs_std_interna... Quoting from the report: "It can be seen that (direct) usage of Boost03 components is residual (and in some cases due to backwards compatibility rather than for their functionality). We can draw then the conclusion that newer Boost libraries are already dismissing legacy dependencies when the standard environment offers alternatives." Best, Joaquín M López Muñoz

Thanks for the heads-up, I changed capitalization and didn't notice that broke the link. Editorial comments aside, your views on the proposal are most welcome. Joaquín M López Muñoz
I have a half-drafted post that I just haven't been able to finish, but will try to post this weekend. It's a topic that has been much discussed at c++now and other venues where some of us have been fortunate to gather in the past. Overall I think you're on the right track...more to come :) On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 1:26 AM Joaquin M López Muñoz < joaquinlopezmunoz@gmail.com> wrote:
