Yes, but that is _incredibly_ time consuming. You have to set up asan, msan, tsan, and valgrind. If you want linting you need to do shenanigans to wire up clang-tidy.

I also like simple mental models. I like not having to figure out the cmake modifications to pull in a new library. I like having a search engine when I need a new library for x. I like when libraries return Result<Ok, Err> instead of ping ponging between C libraries which indicate errors using retval flags or C++ libraries that throw std::runtime_error(). I like not dealing with void* pointer casting .
