Is anyone using Pystd in production?

I was reading about this alternative to the standard library

jpakkane/pystd: A self-written C++ standard library

and wondering if anyone is using it in production? The back tier of my code generator is proprietary and only runs on Linux. This library from Jussi Pakkanen isn't super portable, but it works on Linux. So it's a possibility for me to start using it in my back tier.

My company's motto is to "enjoy programming again" and wonder if this library could help with that.

question about copy assignment

This page Copy assignment operator - cppreference.com - C++ Reference

says:

a parameter list of only one parameter, which is of type T, T&, const T&, volatile T& or const volatile T&

Can it be a non-reference -- 'T'? I get an error when I try that.

Thanks

Let's build a network service together

I've made some progress on my C++ code generator, but there's still a long way to go. It's implemented as a 3-tier system. The back and middle tiers only run on Linux. The front tier is portable. I'm looking for some users. I'm willing to spend 16 hours/week for six months on a project if we use my software as part of the project.

I've been using Linux to build a "jewelry" store for almost 27 years

On April 21, 2026 a jewelry store in Texas was robbed by a bunch of thugs. There was another robbery in Freemont, California in June of 2025. Around 24 thieves raided a jewelry store and stole over 1.7 million$ of jewelry in 70 seconds. If the stewards of those stores decide to rebuild, I predict they won't replace the display cases that were smashed. It will be a "by appointment only" store and they will frisk you before they show you anything. Of the 24 thieves, only a handful of them have been caught!

In other words, the store managers will replace their open model with a SaaS model. I saw some of this trouble brewing back in the 1990s and realized SaaS was a gift from above in terms of safeguarding investments. I'm glad I have some open-source code for my portfolio, but I'm glad it's not all I have. Call me crazy but making something proprietary but free-to-use is the best I can do.

Mea culpa. My bad.

I'm building a C++ code generator that helps build distributed systems. It's implemented as a 3-tier system. The back and middle tiers only run on Linux. The front tier is portable. It's free to use; there aren't any trial periods or paid plans.

This past Tuesday another jewelry store was robbed by a bunch of thugs. I saw some of this trouble brewing back in the 1990s and realized SaaS was a gift from above in terms of dealing with corruption. I'm glad I have some open-source code for my portfolio, but I'm glad it's not all I have.

In other words, the store managers will replace their open model with a SaaS model. And who can blame them?
