How rude. Have you used any of those libraries or perhaps relied on Google's "AI"-generated answer?

HPX, EASTL specifically are, the latter being heavily used in (unsurprisingly) the gaming comunity).

libcu++ is for your target compilation.

As for Folly and Abseil, I wrote "as well as more who use Folly and Abseil which have alternate implementations to much of the standard library" (i.e. not ful drop in replacements).

So really I don't know what your point is: you made an assertion, then replied not to what I actually wrote but by simply doing a quick google search and using that as your conclusion.

I have used all of HPX, Folly and Abseil but I guess the top of a google search result is more authoritative.

EASTL is not a C++ standard library implementation even if it's design does follow it in parts.
My point is simple, you are poorly informed on this topic and should refrain from speaking about it.

None of the libraries you listed are independent implementations of the standard library let alone source compatible.

EASTL does not claim to be an implementation of the C++ standard library, its claim is that it is an alternative to the C++ standard library. Perhaps the distinction is too subtle for you to have actually understood it but one thing is obvious, you have clearly never used it.

I'm pretty sure that gumby forgot more about c++ and c++ implementations than the rest of us will ever know.
