[review] FSM Library review result
This is a brief report of the results of the review of Andrey Semashev's Finite State Machines (FSM) library. I want to do justice to the discussions that took place, and will follow-up with a complete summary next week. In spite of a good amount of discussion and an extension of the review period, the number of reviews was smaller than I had hoped for. Nonetheless, I believe that the library received an adequate review and, based on the review comments and other discussions, the FSM library cannot be accepted into Boost at this time. A total of four reviews were submitted, as follows: Andrea Carbone: YES Phil Endecott: NO Jeff Flinn: NO Chris Knight: NO Darryl Green also submitted a mini-review, which did not include an explicit yes or no vote, but expressed doubt about whether the library should be accepted. On the positive side, several people noted that the goals of the library (simplicity and greater performance than Boost.StateCharts) were valid and that such a library was needed in some applications. I personally support this view. I would like to thank Andrey for his efforts in developing the library. I would like to encourage him to pursue the discussions that were begun during this review and perhaps try again with an updated submission. MV
