Yes, and it boggles my mind why C/C++ hasn't come up with a better built-in build system already.
I shouldn't have to specify a ton of flags to g++ something, it should find them within the project directory and pull in dependencies automatically.
Header files should be done with. Poof. Gone. There is zero reason for them to exist. I know exactly why they exist, but it's an artifact of a system where preprocessor, compiler, linker are separate. I should be able to do "import<foo/bar>" multiple times and it should pull in all the classes and functions in "./foo/bar.cpp" or "./foo/bar.so" (whichever is available), just like Python, and cache the ".so" files just like Python caches ".pyc" files.
Improving C++'s build experience would have absolutely zero impact on execution speed.
Yet they're busy adding some stupid spaceship operators and other things people almost never use.
I’m annoyed too, because I love C and back in the 90s languages like Turbo C and Microsoft C were quite intuitive to use from the command line and using whatever old editor you wanted. I would still very happily be using modern C if the overall experience were like Go.
