This is interesting to see. I don’t use c++ professionally but I have started to use it in my spare time for some side projects.

I find it interesting as it gives a lot of control over OS primitives.

One thing I found a little odd was the various different ways to build and import third party libraries. Finding the include directories and linking the libraries can be a pain.

I use cmake and ninja which seems to be somewhat easier to wrangle with.
