#3STL is maybe a bit missleading because it doesn't seem like it is a drop-in replacement for the STL.
However, this is certainly interesting because the emphasis on speed (and thus also on simplicity) is what I'm sometimes missing in the real STL or in Boost. That's exactly what you need in a game but also in much other performance critical code.
As far as I remember, Chrome has used the STL earlier. But I looked now and I see this: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/master/So...
Gecko also seem to have a lot of custom stuff: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/tree/master/xpcom/strin...
Doom3 idLib: https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM-3-BFG/tree/master/neo/id...
Unreal engine: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/2695/rocket-and-t...
You'll find much more similar libs when you search in some of the big games.

It's just on Github now.

Nope; they open sourced a tiny part of it before. Now they've open sourced the entire thing

The previously released version was significantly incomplete (it only included what was needed for the copy of webkit they embedded in some games), was years out of date, and was GPL rather than BSD.

What parts of the EASTL are faster than the normal STL? Does it have better maps?
Edit: From a look at the source it definitely at least has some extra map classes for more specialized uses.
