Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

On this topic Sy Brand is a guarantee, in fact he did the https://github.com/TartanLlama/expected and several presentation of the subject.

What is the status of the monadic operations for std::expected? It seems like they made it into the standard for C++23, but they don't actually seem to be available in the std::expected implementation (in MSVC's STL)
In the meantime, I may use the TartanLlama implementation (here) and plan around replacing it with the real deal in the near future.

Why should I have written ZeroMQ in C, not C++ (2012)
Eventually you'll be able to use std::expected in C++23!
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header/expected
Don't throw exceptions, require the caller to handle errors and propagate them up the stack (everything returns an expected) if they cannot be handled. You are forced to model the error domains instead of just throwing an exception and assuming the caller knows to catch it and do something with it.
Java has checked exceptions, but, Kotlin decided to abandon them.
The nice codebases I have worked on stick to the Result type in Swift or Kotlin. And thus you are forced to 'translate' errors (exceptions?) as described in Alan Griffith's 'Exceptional Java'.
https://accu.org/journals/overload/10/48/griffiths_406/
"If a checked exception is thrown (to indicate an operation failure) by a method in one package it is not to be propagated by a calling method in a second package. Instead the exception is caught and "translated". Translation converts the exception into: an appropriate return status for the method, a checked exception appropriate to the calling package or an unchecked exception recognised by the system. (Translation to another exception type frequently involves "wrapping".)"
If you can't wait for C++23, there's a single header implementation here.

Does Anyone Use Boost Outcome?
I recently came across boost outcome as I was searching for a better error handling method. It took me a minute to get a hang of it but now I love it. After creating my own policy and a few aliases for easier use.
-
Is this error handling strategy good?
std::optional and std::variant can be a bit awkward to use in this scenario, though. Consider a dedicated type like boost::outcome (standalone versions) or one of the implementations of the proposed std::expected.

Modern C++ "result" type based on Swift / Rust
Minimum possible compile time impact is a key goal of https://github.com/ned14/outcome. We ship a single header edition which only includes the low impact standard headers as listed at https://github.com/ned14/stl-header-heft. We also don't use union storage for non-TC non-MB types in order to avoid complex metaprogramming execution by the compiler per instantiation.

C++ Memory Safety
It's really weird that I wrote the above, and then this bug was reported to Outcome: https://github.com/ned14/outcome/issues/244. Here is my exact complaint about lack of lifetime tracking in C++.
What are some alternatives?
