I don't normally post on Hacker News, but just came here to cast a vote of support for the project and say that I have been using the library with great success after trying numerous other C++ solutions in the past.

I think the lib strikes a good balance between portability and performance and is very light weight and a breeze to integrate.

The numbers we have seen have been very impressive so far. Alex had been very responsive with issues and feature requests and I can definitely recommend people give it a whirl.
