Dropping Boost in favor of std==C++17? #223

Closed sameeul closed 4 months ago

sameeul commented 11 months ago

Now that C++17 is supported by all the major compilers, just checking if you are thinking about dropping boost all-together use std::filesystem and std::variant from C++17? I took a look at the current usage of boost in the codebase and feel that it can be dropped if we switch to C++17.

Any thoughts on that? I can start working on it if you think it might be a good direction.

Yes, that is a good idea!

A contribution on this would be welcome!
