I've been looking through the Doom3 gpl code again recently and noticed that the "Containers" section of the idLib library has a unique implementation of 50+ year old data structures like a linked list. You can find the implementation here:
Doom 3 Linked List
My question is - why do so many games choose to reinvent the wheel instead of using a library like STL or BOOST? Is there a performance reason?

I am looking for a class to export my c++ functions and classes to lua and call C++ functions from lua.
I have found few but I am interested in user impressions over usability/ stability / community support.
So if you used such a wrapper please help.

I intend to learn a new language for better concurrency.
Erlang is a old but powerful language with a runtime to support its whole concurrency system as well as a well-known library, OTP. This is more like JVM.
Go is another language good at concurrency, while it's more like C.
My major field is about C/S and B/S. What should I prefer?

I am not familiar with OCamlgraph library? I am not able to find any good documentation for the same? I am not able to run any small examples also. I want to find all cycles in graph for that I am using it.
Anyone aware of any documentation? Or a set of examples for the same?
There is the paper on ocamlgraph:
http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/ftp/publis/ocamlgraph.ps
And aside from the examples on the ocamlgraph homepage, there is a more compact code example here:

I am starting to do some development in C++ which includes the use of COM interfaces in Windows. I have to make a decision to learn or not to learn the COM technology. So, I want to ask if the COM programming is still widely used or is it rather outdated? Is it still a good idea to invest ones time into learning COM?

I've read the source code of a few popular open source projects like apache, nginx...
All of them are written in C, is there one written in C++?
It should be run-able program, not framework...
KDE
and up, to 30 characters and beyond.
Mozilla Firefox is written (mainly) in C++.
