<div dir="ltr">I would agree with degski. In LEMON you have a much better design and syntax. I personally think BGL has some unnecessary syntax overhead. In my department we are slowly adapting laboratories and example codes to LEMON, students (including myself) find it easier than other c++ libraries and I would say ease of use is a very important long-term characteristic for a library (new users tend to stick with the easier one to read and write code).<div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-05-26 12:07 GMT-03:00 degski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:degski@gmail.com" target="_blank">degski@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><span class=""><div>>> I'm still mystified why you rewrote Boost Graph instead of<br>>> contributing to a common code base.<br>> <br>> In short: we believe that LEMON provides better design and API,<br>> furthermore it definitely provides a wider variety of complex algorithms<br>> and (much) better overall performance.

A good basic (superioir) design (actually easy to understand once you dive into the code) for a graph library (and modern compilers seem to do the rest and turn it into something that works very well...). Personally I would love to see LEMON as part of Boost as it beats BGL in any way possible...<br><br></div>Disclosure: Non necessary, I'm in no way related to the authors of LEMON.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class=""><font color="#888888">degski<br><div><div><br></div></div></font></span></div>
