And C++ supports private and public repositories, why waste time always compiling the same binaries for third party dependencies?

There is an eco-system out there for C and C++ developers where companies only sell binary only libraries.

VSCode is not an IDE, just an text editor with a couple of plugins.

C++ Builder, Visual Studio, XCode, Android Studio, QtCreator, KDevelop, those are proper IDEs.

lol "proper IDEs" ok...

vscode is one of the most used editors on the market and I seem to be able to produce quality software in a number of languages with it.

As for binary dependencies, I'm certain Rust will have that in the future. I'm fine without it for now, and what I'm not certain of is whether C++ will ever actually fix their problems because they seem to think they don't have any!

So not an IDE, see.

funny, it has all the features of an IDE

I guess you never used an IDE.

never in my 10 years of programming a bunch of languages, never done it
