Every platform provides a very easy way to install the latest version of clang.

System python shouldn't be a thing in the first place. If you want to run some python program in 2025 you just
uv venv --python 3.whatever

The idea that "system python shouldn't be a thing" is really radical and massive change from the status quo of languages. Especially interpreted languages. There are plenty of languages that work just fine on system interpreter/compiler with no need of an entire language for each program. Perl is one example that is very comparable to python. The important difference is that Perl hasn't been split into hundreds of different languages like python due to popularity. > Every platform provides a very easy way to install the latest version of clang. Once again sour grapes. Abandoning the idea of your system compiler working for C++ is wild.

Abandoning the idea of your system compiler working for C++ is wild. why? most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS etc) don't even have a system compiler, it's a separate app that you install (and for which you can thankfully install multiple versions in parallel, unlike the stupid linux idea that every app should only ever have one version installed at any given time).
