Pystd standard library, similar-ish functionality with a fraction of the compile time

Quality: 6/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

A blog post by Jussi Pakkanen about Pystd, a from-scratch C++ standard library aimed at reducing compile times. It argues that including standard headers drives long build times and presents Pystd's design priorities (compile-time, simplicity, performance). It shares measured build times (4s from scratch on a single core, 1.9s with 16 cores) and lists core features that Pystd provides (vector, string, maps, optional, etc.), plus notes on current documentation and status.
