  The SDSL is very easy to use, and its versatility is quite amazing. It's also rather interesting to look at the list of papers that cite it: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=6772708594529960585 and https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=SDSL-lite

  Cool library. Any thoughts on getting it to work with Visual C++ 2015. It now has pretty decent C++11 support, you already use CMake, and this library seems like something that is inherently OS neutral.

  Even when I am ultimately deploying on Linux, I will often develop and debug my os-independent logic using Visual C++ on Windows and then when that is working well, recompile using g++ or clang++.

  Very nice! Why did you choose GPLv3 instead of LGPLv3?

  this looks very cool but it is a shame about the license and a shame about the code style.

  STL is a poor exemplar to follow - its a real wasteland of a library and very deficient compared to libraries for other modern languages.

  however i will now go and learn these things and reinvent some wheels to make myself a better programmer.

  thanks. :)

  How does it compare in terms of memory and speed, to the GNU implementation of STL?
