I risk keeping on spamming, but anyway, here are some words from
inside Google. Sean Parent once worked at Adobe, where it acted as
Adobe Source ibraries developer. ASL is a fine library that I often
use as a complement to boost. He recently (Oct 2009) wrote in the
asl-devel mailing list:

I'm now at Google working on ChromeOS.

The Google style guide (adhered to by most of Google) has made it a
bit difficult for me to spend too much time on ASL.

[...]

Some of the more challenging parts are - limited use of Boost, no
exception handling, and discouraged copy and assignment. Right now I
feel like I'm coding with one hand behind my back

I think that style guide is pretty phased out by now, almost twelve
years after the C++98 Standard.

Yours,
