There is a more brutal option: AI could help write a c++ to plain and simple C transpiler... then we would lose the semantics of the original program, but free ourself from the very few toxic and real-life c++ compilers out there.
Funny because the canonical C++ compiler for the first decade of the language's life did compile to C. People eventually moved on to other compilers to free themselves from having to deal with the toxicity of C output.
What's old is new again.
It seems you are failing to see that this is this very syntax complexity which makes most of this toxicity.
And having a modern c++ transplier to plain and simple C, would re-open the door to alternative and 'real-life' small/medium compilers, not like those vendor/developer-locked very few options we have today.
Somebody did it for microsoft rust. Would just be a good idea for nowadays c++.
Well, we are talking about programming languages after all. That goes without saying. One has to be odd to want to do that. But we wouldn’t have it any other way!
So updating cfront for modern C++.
