> ... easy to program as a general language. lisp, nim, etc... C++ templates are just a compile-time lazily-evaluated Lisp. As always, the criticism of C++ comes down to "programming is hard, let's go shopping". If you don't want to learn and you just want to do the bare minimum to keep your 8 hour coding job, there's already plenty of languages that nail this niche. C++ obviously is not for you, just move on and don't make a redundant comment.

What an asinine comment. I guess if you're real programmer you'll program everything in brainfuck. Isn't not hard to fathom that some language designs are easier to express and easier to understand than others and still get the same things done. C++'s meta programming via templates is clearly a hack and was never designed to do what it's being abused to do.
