> C++ cannot be covered by package management in the same way interpreted languages are. The problem space is vastly more complex. It starts with optional language features that often get get disabled in projects (most often RTTI and exceptions), continues with incompatible ABIs between compilers and even compiler revisions and does not stop with the presence of sometimes countless compiler flags for optional features and dependencies.

Haskell has most of the same problems and Stack handles them easily. Each source file in a project can use different language extensions, all transitive dependencies are compiled from source, and there's even CI to re run tests whenever a package is bumped.
