WRITING YOUR OWN C++ STANDARD LIBRARY FROM SCRATCH

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Frustrated with the STL's compile times and limitations, this developer aimed to create a smaller, more manageable alternative inspired by the Python stdlib. He created pystd, which contains under 1,000 lines of code - it compiles much faster than the STL equivalent. A key feature of pystd is its perfect ABI stability achieved through yearly releases with separate namespaces, allowing developers to update at their own pace and maintain compatibility with older code.
