Wow. Thanks for both of your replies. The last paragraph of your reply above reminds me somewhat of a part of this talk, somewhere near the end: Lang NEXT 20

Wow. Thanks for both of your replies. The last paragraph of your reply above reminds me somewhat of a part of this talk, somewhere near the end: Lang NEXT 2014 Panel Systems Programming in 2014 and Beyond https://youtu.be/ZQR32nTVF_4?si=zQNTWBXcp4TkSnRh https://youtu.be/ZQR32nTVF_4?si=zQNTWBXcp4TkSnRh It is the part where Bjarne Stroustrup talks about the issue of the huge compilation times of multi-file C++ projects, due to the number of times that header files are repeatedly included, IIRC. The section is a bit funny, with the responses from the other participants. There may be a solution for by now (modules), but I am not a C++ guy, so don't know if it exists or is good enough. Interested to know what others think of this.
