Browsing C++ and coming up mostly with nodejs libraries. http://libraries.io/search?languages=C%2B%2B&order=desc&sort...

You should check biicode (C++ deps manager) which will be compatible with VersionEye soon allowing you to know about updates in the libs you depend.

Currently I'm only pulling data from package managers like rubygems and npm, I couldn't find a C++ one yet, although https://www.biicode.com/ looks handy for that, I'll investigate.

Nice to see that even my package manager for the Nim programming language is there. Pity that the language is still called "Nimrod" there though.

I'm using https://github.com/github/linguist for language information, still waiting for this pr to be merged for the Nimrod => Nim change: https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/1936

Looks very interesting. Can't seem to find Qt though, but lots of related things, like qt bindings for node.js

I see. I wonder what's taking them so long. In any case I am impressed that you implemented support for Nimble :)

C and C++ is usually packaged with the OS's package manager, like dpkg, rpm, pacman, etc.

The closest thing to rubygems might be Portage (1) or AUR (2). You might be able to search each of those for "c++". Or maybe peek into the constituent files for '.c' or '.cpp', '.cxx', etc.
