[section:intro]
Open source isn't just for nerds and researchers. Real world programming challenges,
irrespective of whether they are open or closed source, can benefit enormously from
the thought and experience that has gone into the Boost software libraries. Put simply,
for any given problem for which Boost provides a solution, Boost will strive to provide
the best solution possible. It's up to you to decide whether we've achieved that, but
as these pages will testify, many other developers have found our solutions to be the
best for them.
['Disclaimer:] Boost's developers try to ensure that the
information on these pages is correct, but from time to time inadvertent
mistakes are bound to occur:

[section:shrink Shrink Wrapped Boost]
Boost has found it's way into many products that are available "off the shelf",
including consumer applications from Adobe, through to business
middleware from SAP.
[blurb [*Adobe Photoshop CS2]\n\n

human readable ISO output.\n
[@../../libs/iterator/index.html Iterators]: Wow. Moving legacy iterating interfaces, or
interfaces that should of been properly designed
as iterators to STL compliant iterators was easy
and painless. The gains in functionality to our
code made by this library are invaluable.\n

[section:open Open Source Boost]
Boost is used in a variety of Open Source Projects, both applications and libraries.
Indeed many Open Source libraries developed around Boost have in the past been judged
of high enough quality to be absorbed
into the main Boost source tree, a process that will no doubt continue into the future.
Others are in highly specialized niche markets, ranging from probability theory to
astronomy, via mass spectroscopy: whatever your field of interest you'll find
something of value in Boost.

GPL, and is developed mainly by Alo Sarv. Currently in Beta phase,
Hydranode runs on wide range of platforms, including Windows, Linux,
BSD, Mac OS, Solaris etc.\n\n
['"Hydranode Engine and plugins rely heavily on the following Boost
libraries: Bind, Function, Lambda, MultiIndex, Signals, Threads,
Smart Pointer, Format, Lexical Cast. Other Boost libraries being used
include FileSystem, String Algorithm, Date Time, Program Options, Spirit,
Random, Tokenizer, Type Traits, Tribool, Tuple and Any. Once Boost 1.33
is released, I'm also looking forward to using the Boost Iostreams library
in Hydranode.\n\n
All complex data structures in Hydranode are implemented using
Multi Index containers, which significantly reduced development time
and kept code clean. Format is being used for all text formatting.
Having Threads and FileSystem libraries available made cross-platform
development lot easier in those areas."]

in lua and let them derive from other lua classes or C++ classes.
Lua classes can override virtual functions from their C++ baseclasses.
It is written towards lua 5.0, and does not work with lua 4.]
