Folly – Faceboook’s open source C++ library

I'm pretty sure it's the (lack of) package managers.

The presence of a defacto package manager completely changes the library dynamics.

I can't even link and test properly against GMP on Windows :/

Sigh. Keeping sqlite as an example. On most Unix-like OSs (and even windows now) there is a dynamically linked sqlite managed by a package manager.

It also predates the time period when people would whine about a lack of package managers.

As do a bunch of these libraries.
