<p>
Boost is used in a variety of Open Source Projects, both applications and libraries.
Indeed many Open Source libraries developed around Boost have in the past been judged
of high enough quality to be absorbed
into the main Boost source tree, a process that will no doubt continue into the future.
Others are in highly specialized niche markets, ranging from probability theory to
astronomy, via mass spectroscopy: whatever your field of interest you'll find
something of value in Boost.</p>
