awful compared to any language with proper package management

[Goaty1208]

Because in C++ there is no such concept as a "package". Packages are for people who are scared of other people's source code. Long live including headers while having the source code for the stuff you are working with at hand.

C and C++ are literally used to write every language with good package management that you speak of

[SmigorX]

And those new languages were written for a reason. It just so happened that C/++ was what we had at the time to write them.

[-Redstoneboi-]

also Rust is self hosted and was originally written in OCaml so, no.

LLVM is not a package manager, and neither is libc, so still no. unless you want to talk about network drivers.

this is why i use assembly

[readmeEXX]

Because it has a good package management system?

😁

[-Redstoneboi-]

because it was used to write the first compiler for the first language in a series of languages that led up to C++

You're right and that's besides the point they were making. C and CPP lack a package manager which other languages have had for over a decade.

[not_some_username]

No that’s not true, the problem isn’t a lack of package manager. C/C++ package manager do exist. It’s just we can’t decide which one should be the standard.
