A formal review of the Fit library developed by Paul Fultz II starts today, September 8, and runs through September 17. (snip)
I recommend to ACCEPT the Fit library into Boost unconditionally.
- What is your evaluation of the design?
I like it.
- What is your evaluation of the implementation?
Have not reviewed in recent times. I'm very impressed with the claimed compiler support, although I'm curious to know how Clang 4 and Clang 5 fare. I realize the importance of an implementation review for this library, so I trust that Matt will weigh this lightweight review appropriately.
- What is your evaluation of the documentation?
Good. I would like to see pound-include lines added to all of the early examples. So many times as a user of Boost I have had to cross reference example code with the reference docs just to find the include path, which is annoying.
- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?
Very useful! I would have used this a handful of times at work already, had it been available in Boost.
- Did you try to use the library? With which compiler(s)? Did you have any problems?
No, at least not recently.
- How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study?
Tonight, about an hour reading documentation. Cumulatively, several hours over the past couple of years. I have been following Fit since before the 2016 review, so I'm thrilled to see it up for review again.
- Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain?
Yes, although my experience with functional programming is mostly limited to TMP.
- Were the concerns from the March 2016 review of Fit addressed?
