Well, let us iterate the libraries which were presented this C++ Now conference which are not in Boost and have no (to my knowledge) intention to enter Boost. Some of these may not be C++11, it was hard to tell from the talk description, but a majority were:
* Versor
Interesting, if very domain specific.
* Turtle Mock * BoundedInteger * Mach7
Currently has no docs on the web, so I can't judge.
* Octopus
Unable to find that one.
* HPX
From a well known Booster, depends on Boost and is Boost-licenced. Let's hope we see it here soon, although it looks like it may still be experimental?
* Metashell (or rather its underlying libraries) * libcppa (though Boost.Actor which is based on this is expected) * CppComponents
Interestingly also Boost-licenced, and from a Boost contributor.
* Some sort of C++ idiomatic XML library * Doppl
Couldn't find it.
* sfrp
Need I say any more?
Well it would be nice of some of those library authors could chime in with their thoughts, otherwise we don't really know one way or another?
I see no difference with what we see now and, say, 10 years ago. There will always be a lot more non-Boost libraries out in the open. The barrier to entry is simply very high. On the other hand, the barrier to entry into C++ Now is not that high. There is no grueling peer-review, for example.
