There has, however, been little interest in the library so far from Boost
users/developers which surprises me. I don't know if that is because of the single-machine limitation and people don't see any value that MR can bring to multi-threaded programming?
People are maybe lacking perspective on the problem. One thing that can be beneficial is solving a real life problem with your library and show the payback.
I definitly agree.Concepts like map-reduce are still at the state of "heard of" for a lot of developpers, most of them think "it's a nice idea" but when they need concurrency their immediate real-world thinking is basic threads. Showing simple tasks solved the classic way and the map-reduce way, showing the pros/cons of each approach would be a nice thing to have. Philippe
