Yeah, my personal opinion is that modules are dead on arrival, but I won't waste my time arguing with C++ enthusiasts on that.

Nah I'm a C++ (ex?) enthusiast and modules are cool but there's only so many decades you can wait for a feature other languages have from day 1, and then another decade for compilers to actually implement it in a usable manner.

I am fine with waiting for a feature and using it when it's here. But at this point, I feel like C++ modules are a ton of complexity for users, tools, and compilers to wrangle... for what? Slightly faster compile times than PCH? Less preprocessor code in your C++.. maybe? Doesn't seem worth it to me in comparison.

I would think they don't want to hear that because of how badly they want modules to happen. Don't kill their hope!
