I need to write C++ every now and then and I don't dislike the modern C++ itself, but the tooling is a bit rough to use.

Getting dependencies from the system is a big PITA and the build tools, as in cmake, seem to require as much knowledge as the language itself.

Having a C++17 with a tool like Cargo building static binaries and just the right versions of the libraries would make my life with the language much easier.
