I have a sort of off-topic question. The marketing for this claims not using STL containers as a selling point. Does anyone know what makes STL containers unsuitable for this use case? Clearly they're not a one size fits all but I'm intrigued to know why you market an unknown container based API over a tried and tested one?



The biggest reason for me was to reduce compile times, which got cut into approximately half when I replaced STL containers with simpler custom ones. This starts adding up in large projects, where lots of files end up including the ECS.
