    @Demolishun Yeah, didn't seem irrelevant to me, I'm just surprised it could be used in so many cases. Not complaining, though.

    Isn't Qt better suited when working with UI ? If so, I don't think it will be very useful as I'm working on a CLI

    @CodeTalker Depends. Qt is modular.

    Boost is what glib is... What you might write, but should be terrified of, because getting it right could be a very traumatizing, frustrating experience.

    C++ 11 incorporated a lot of boost into the standard library. Same with 14. But there is a reason they call Boost Standard Library 2.
