What are some good websites that rate and review publicly available code libraries?

Question

Preferably in C++, but code in all languages would be good to. Should be well categorized for different purposes, and have side by side comparisons.

To clarify what I'm looking for. Let's say I wanted to find a graphics library. I would search for that, and it would give me a list:

SDL OpenGL Ogre Allegro etc...

Each one would be rated by users and or professional reviewers, and some of the more popular ones would have written reviews.

Answer 1

As you asked about C++, there is probably no better review process than within Boost. Trust it.

For specific domains, you may get specific review processes. Examples:

• Journal of Statistical Software, an electronic peer-reviewed journal for statistical software
• Journal of Machine Learning Research, a similar open e-journal but devoted to ML
• Machine Learning Open Source Software, a index (for lack of a better term) of OS software for ML

Answer 2

You should take a look at OHLOH.

They have online tools that can analyse code from remote repositories like CVS, Subversion, Mercurial, Git and Bazaar.

I just submitted this one for analysis.
