Even i wonder about this! Also is Abseil widely used in the industry or only at Google?

Abseil is used extensively in Envoy Proxy. The project is a top level Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project however Google are one of the top contributors.
I doubt it. Google lives at head and breaks things. Industry likes stability in general I have code from 1996 that I still need to support on cpus that were current back then. Nobody has written a new compiler for those cpus so I am stuck with whatever the old compiler supports.
OT: wiineeth, your account is shadow banned. I looked through your history and can't really tell why, but you should email hn and ask them to lift the ban, since IMO you don't look like a bad member in a community.
We just started using it for its flat_hash_map.
