It's a clean, minimal, purely functional Lisp-like language. Nothing 'insane' or 'undebuggable' about it.

(Well, maybe if you're the kind of person who only ever coded Qt-style OOP C++98 in your life you might be shocked, but for the rest of us there is nothing surprising or special about C++ templates.)

Having worked a lot in both C++ and Lisp, I object to calling C++ templating "clean" and "minimal". C++ is a mess. I still love it though.
