who have been around for a while, what keeps you here? Why do you stay engaged?
A good reason to stay engaged is to maintain your own libraries. Then you might make some new ones or review some new ones. It grows over time. But how do you get there? In the beginning I found Boost to be a place of C++ competence. This was in those dark times when it seemed like C++ would just fail (curiously enough with no replacement). Sometime around the turn of the century, I started using Boost for stuff like noncopyable and iterator_facade, spirit, math, gil, boost.python and more. I'll never forget the symbiosis between Boost and C++11, the standard that literally saved the language itself, granting it maturity and longevity. I think without Booost, C++ might be a lot worse off, maybe never even gaining traction. For this reason alone and for many more (such as finding like minds to play with) I stay.
