Interesting. I particularly like the part that says "So, you'll find Folly complements some existing high quality C++ libraries, such as Boost or the Standard Library, both of which we use heavily.":-) And of course it will be interesting to read about Folly itself. --Beman

Notice that the root Readme file says to not use exceptions. Still, there are use of exceptions. I wonder if the readme is not up to date or the code ignored the rule...
