The issue with C++ complexity is that the standard development model is dysfunctional. They aren’t able to bring concepts like “a file” into the standard because one standards body member maintains a compiler in some baroque ancient environment without the concept of a fs. Too much is forced to implement at the library level instead of in the compiler, and end up feeling half baked for real users (modules, coroutines etc).
