I once tried to use a library that used boost and since I didn’t want to require my code to need the entirety of boost (which is gigabytes in size!) I tried to extract just the parts of boost that were needed. There are so many interdependencies between sublibraries of boost that after about two hours I decided I will never again use any library that relied on boost.

Boost isn't gigabytes in size wat are you talking about. All the headers are here in this 14mb archive: https://github.com/ossia/sdk/releases/download/sdk25/boost_1... and that is enough to use 90% of the boost libs as they are mostly header only

I don’t know. I’m just telling my experience. Whatever release I thought I needed at the time was huge.
