<pre wrap=""> * Boost is widely used by C++ projects of comparable size, and

Innovations from Boost itself are becoming part of the C++0x

Ten Boost libraries are already included in the <a

Standards Committee's</a> Library Technical Report (<a
href="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2005/n1745.pdf"
class="external">TR1</a>) and will be in the new C++0x Standard now
being finalized. C++0x will also include several more Boost libraries
in addition to those from TR1. More Boost libraries are proposed for <a

So, in the short to medium term, adoption of Boost leads to being more
prepared for C++0x, which will happen; it's on the table already for
LLVM / Clang to replace G++.<br>
