Many of these languages rely on code generation, whether it's templates, macros, preprocessor. Since a lot of the code doesn't exist until compile time, it's hard to have the same level of autocomplete as in Java/C#, where everything is basically known from the start.
- gameswithgo 6y agoThat can be a minor complication compared to just, writing a good autocomplete system at all. Microsoft went to a lot of effort, they have some good video talks about it out there. But being able to give compiler feedback in realtime requires thinking about the compiler with that in mind from the start, other wise it is too slow and resource consuming.
