Re: [boost] [Review] xpressive

Darren Cook <darren@dcook.org>:

So a new library should not be added just because it is clever, or slightly better at solving some problem than the existing ways. In my opinion, it has to be significantly better.

I strongly disagree - my feeling is that one of motivations behind boost is to allow libraries to evolve and mature. This is best achieved when solutions and ideas are allowed to compete inside boost. Besides, large choice of libraries is also in iterest of boost users. I agree that we do have problems with testing, but limiting number of libraries is not the right solution. B.
