It wasn't my intention to say that writing a library in C++ is trivial. Just that it's inevitable in non-trivial projects. So I agree that lot's of knowledge and thought have to go into API/ABI design, versioning etc. On the other hand, only because C++ gives you lots of choices that other languages don't, it doesn't mean that only a hand full of "library developers" will have to make those choices. Almost everybody has to make them, coincidentally or consciously.
