What I am saying is that I believe the author knows the library would not get users on its own and this is why there was no effort to acquire them.

That's not the case. C++ desperately needs a library like this, and there's a reason cppcoro got very popular. I got 82 stars & 128 unique clones so far. The review and its announcement of course got some attention. I am probably excluding users by requiring boost, and could get more by making it optional. We surely disagree on that, but I obviously think my library is great and will attract users, especially younger ones that do not love callbacks as much as you. But you can be very sure, that I am absolutely confident that this library would get users without being in boost and I would urge you not to assume these kinds of motives.
