Why is C++ so Slow?
summary
C++ development is slow mainly because of the language, tooling and especially build systems and package management; build2 focuses on making anyone a cross‑platform library author and optimizes the time from nothing to CI. Demo: create a GitHub repo, run build2 templates, manifest auto‑fills from GitHub, build and run tests locally, then push and explicitly trigger CI that runs across Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD and major compilers — a total of 35 build configurations with per‑build logs.
