Hello All,
Boost.Fit is a function utility library, however, the name currently doesn't have anything with this. I originally chose the name because it started with F(for function) and it was short and sounded nice. However, there could be some names(or abbreviations) that more adequately describe the library. Here are some alternatives that are short:
- Boost.FP - Boost.FPL - Boost.Fun - Boost.FN
Of course, I prefer the Boost.FN name. Names like Boost.FP or Boost.FPL could imply that it provides full functional constructs whereas Boost.Fit does not and is mainly focused on functions. Maybe you can describe which functional constructs are not provided that

It is also important to know if you have plans to extend the library in the future.
The focus of the library is on functions. The scope of FP can be much larger including generic functors or monads. I do not plan to delve into those areas with this library.
