not seeing anyone at all suggesting the work of the c++ committee is going to radicaly alter the efficiency of labour.

My point is that C++ is a tarpit, famous for nerd sniping and leading otherwise intelligent people into Wild goose chases.

Have you read Alexandrescu’s “modern c++”? It’s like a piece of modern art but completely not self aware. There’s just something about C++ that lures intellectuals in; like ice age mammoths to a tar pit.

Small wonder LLMs also fall victims to C++’s deranged ways.

I don’t love c++ but can get things done in it. The tarpit is Haskell ;-)
