Can you or others post such alternative standard libraries? The only ones that come to mind are boost (which is a nightmarefor compile times and I feel is a mishmash of old and new) and googles absiel which I haven't actually tried enough to make an opinion about.

Also Qt is basically a Java-like library, with bulit-in stuff for networking, GUI, XML, JSON, WebSockets, multimedia, etc.

Or you have some "domain-specific" libraries like OpenFrameworks which is very nice if you are making visual art since it comes with a lot of very simple primitives to draw shapes, etc.

ACE was an attempt that is basically dead.

There was some talk about an std2, but I gather support for it is too low to be pursued seriously.
