Out of curiosity, I wonder it there's a group that would be willing to sponsor a C++ standard that is just a subset of the current C++ one?

Having the standard, and the ABI, seems valuable. And it would be a lot of trouble to write one from scratch. But it would be less trouble, probably, to go through the standard and remove things that could be safely removed.

At this point I'm just betting that someone is going to write a TypeScript for C++. Until then, I'm sticking to Rust. I just want to get the job done and make money, and so far the ROI on Rust has been HUGE for me. I can't remember the last segfault I've seen.

It's a start, but it would also be nice to also have a package manager and integrated unit test framework. cmake is a pain.
