Is anyone still using the CTRE library in 2026?
Back in 2019 an engineer/committee member made a splash by introducing CTRE, Compile Time Regular Expressions.
It was implemented using type aliases instead of constexpr function calls meaning it was easy to implement in C++11. Very impressive stuff.
It also gave you a nicer callsite spelling in C++20 leveraging generalized non-type template parameter passing.
I'm curious if anyone is still using it. If no, why not? I'd love to hear!
