This was one piece of feedback posted during the Boost.JSON review of September 2020:
For the record, I've had offlist email discussions about proposed Boost.JSON with a number of people where the general feeling was that there was no point in submitting a review, as negative review feedback would be ignored, possibly with personal retribution thereafter, and the library was always going to be accepted in any case. So basically it would be wasted effort, and they haven't bothered.
I'm concerned that folks feel that way: Boost has always had a robust and frankly sometimes bruising review process, but IMO we have ended up with better libraries as a result. So I hope everyone will feel free to submit reviews as they feel fit.
I realize of course that this will invite contradictory replies ("all you need to do is...") but as my conclusion was achieved only after months of experimentation culminating in the production of a complete, working prototype, I would just say: show a working prototype then let's talk.
We are at heart empiricists. Working code always triumphs! Best, John.
