Here's a tip: if a lot of smart, informed people have a very positive view of a technology but it doesn't click for you, it may not be the right tool for you but it very likely is not a "sign of dementia".
Thank you, I can be wrong obviously, but your argument in light of our current times would actually indicate that a lot of smart informed people are more tending to idiotic brainless emanations than anything else.
This is of course unrelated to tailwind and the words I used there were pretty uncharitable - it's open source after all - but I have yet to see a good example of it clicking, the way I've seen it, in my assumedly small real use sample pool, doesn't seem good at all.
Good luck finding anybody with a "very positive" view of C++ other than maybe Bjarne.
People that do real work with C++ will give you an honest assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. There are good reasons it's still so widely used and it's still the right tool for some jobs. Using it for something it's not well suited for is a mistake, of course.
Of course it's also a tool with a lot of legacy cruft accumulated over decades so it's not a great analogy for Tailwind.
