    STOP DOING C++

    • Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
    • “Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

    Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

    ???

    They have played us for absolute fools.

          I don’t know. That’s what I was saying. I can’t possibly imagine what I could say to help someone understand that error message.

          The wall of text was the error message.

          I just prefer using the parsed outputs from IDEs which also take you to the line of code on click.
