Stroustrup needs to realize that "just wait a few more years" isn't an acceptable answer when you're already a decade late to the party. The white house is not

Stroustrup needs to realize that "just wait a few more years" isn't an acceptable answer when you're already a decade late to the party. The white house is not some radical pioneer at the frontier of programming language design. By the time it says anything on the subject, it's been obvious to everyone else for years. There might be a reasonable discussion here if we were discussing profiles when the earliest incarnations of it appeared around 2015, but we're not. It's 2024 and they're still not in the standard. There isn't even a clear proposal for compilers to begin implementing. Once there is, profiles will still be an optional, partial, and incremental solution at best. They won't even fulfill Stroustrup's stated desires to address all kinds of safety (for which there hasn't even been discussion yet).
