RaftLib – Easy, productive parallel programming in C++

Simple, easy to use stream computation library for C++.

RaftLib – Easy, productive parallel programming in C++ launched on May 31, 2016 with 62 votes, #1,088 of 3,824 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.

In plain words

RaftLib is a stream computation library for C++ that simplifies parallel programming. It enables developers to write concurrent applications using a straightforward, stream-based approach rather than managing threads directly. The library is designed for programmers who need to build parallel systems in C++ without the complexity of traditional threading models.

    Hello Hacker News. I’m Martin, a graduate student from Prague, and I’ve been working on Coros, a C++ library for task-based parallelism. After spending some time with OpenMP and oneTBB, I wanted to try building a library using modern features from the C++ standard library. I’ve used coroutines for task encapsulation and C++23 expected for exception handling, while trying to maintain good performance. Additionally, I’ve implemented monadic-like behavior to allow easy chaining of tasks, similar to the monadic operations in std::expected. You can check out the project here:…

  • I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++Apr 2026 · github.com · ▲177

    I love C and C++, but setting up projects can sometimes be a pain. Every time I wanted to start something new I'd spend the first hour writing CMakeLists.txt, figuring out find_package, copying boilerplate from my last project, and googling why my library isn't linking. By the time the project was actually set up I'd lost all momentum. So, I built Craft - a lightweight build and workflow tool for C and C++. Instead of writing CMake, your project configuration goes in a simple craft.toml: [project] name = "my_app" version = "0.1.0" language = "c" c_standard = 99 [build] type = "executable"…
