libc++ has become the default C++ Standard Library implementation for many major platforms, including Apple's macOS,
70+
iOS, watchOS, and tvOS, Google Search, the Android operating system, and FreeBSD. As a result, libc++ has an estimated
71+
user base of over 1 billion daily active users.
72+
73+
Since its inception, libc++ has focused on delivering high performance, standards-conformance, and portability. It has
74+
been extensively tested and optimized, making it robust and production ready. libc++ fully implements C++11 and C++14,
75+
with C++17, C++20, C++23, and C++26 features being actively developed and making steady progress.
76+
77+
libc++ is continuously integrated and tested on a wide range of platforms and configurations, ensuring its reliability
78+
and compatibility across various systems. The library's extensive test suite and rigorous quality assurance process have
79+
made it a top choice for platform providers looking to offer their users a robust and efficient C++ Standard Library.
80+
81+
As an open-source project, libc++ benefits from a vibrant community of contributors who work together to improve the
82+
library and add new features. This ongoing development and support ensure that libc++ remains at the forefront of
83+
C++ standardization efforts and continues to meet the evolving needs of C++ developers worldwide.

libstdcxx, GNU's libstdc++, STLport, etc). There are many contributing
