I saw that talk (on video) and was quite impressed but never got to try your library out. Would be happy to use a library like this! Can you tell me how it relates to the proposed std? /Peter On Sat, Oct 26, 2019 at 3:11 AM Zach Laine via Boost <boost@lists.boost.org> wrote:
About 14 months ago I posted the same thing. There was significant work that needed to be done to Boost.Text (the proposed library), and I was a bit burned out.
Now I've managed to make the necessary changes, and I feel the library is ready for review, if there is interest.
This library, in part, is something I want to standardize.
It started as a better string library for namespace "std2", with minimal Unicode support. Though "std2" will almost certainly never happen now, those string types are still in there, and the library has grown to also include all the Unicode features most users will ever need.

If you care about portable Unicode support, or even addressing the embarrassment of being the only major production language with next to no Unicode support, please have a look and provide feedback.
I gave a talk about this at C++Now in May 2018, and now it's a bit out of date, as the library was not then finished. It's three hours, so, y'know, maybe skip it. For completeness' sake:
