> C++ is a triumph in engineering I guffawed and then threw up in my mouth a little bit at this. C++ is riddled with dozens of horrible design flaws and kludges that make me think your definition of engineering is just plain wonky. Build time is one. Because of an inherent O(n^2) build system complexity, many large C++ codebases require massive, massive compile farms to achieve even reasonable turnaround times. They produce huge build artifacts that take practically forever to link and are still only barely debuggable. E.g. a recent audit of the V8 build time revealed that it compiles at an effective overall throughput of 186 lines of code per second. How do we deal with that? Distributed build system and 50+ core workstations. This is a travesty of engineering.
