The upcoming inclusion of Boost in the C++ standard is admirable. This is coming at least 10 years later than it should have. On the other hand, it's taken time to standardize C++ and get the various compiler implementations up to date.

Eleven years ago, I started using CPAN. For most projects, it's not so much important what language is used as the community, the libraries and the tools that surround the language. It's no wonder that languages other than C++ have seen such dramatic use over the past decade.

I'm starting to use Boost, and it has been worthwhile.
