The C++ standard library (also know as the STL) is, without a doubt, an astounding piece of work. Its scope, performance and incredible back...
The biggest one being the absolutely abysmal compile times but unreadability, and certain unoptimalities caused by strict backwards compatibility are also at the top of the list. Converting this code to use the STL is fairly simple and only requires changing some types and fine tuning the API. Pystd has been designed to both support perfect ABI stability and make it possible to change it in arbitrary ways in the future.
