they say C++ is all about zero cost abstractions but no one is accounting for the cost of therapy needed after looking at C++ code for long enough

@qwertyoruiop In fairness that's how they treat all of the other costs that come from C and C++: ASLR, Pointer Auth, zoned/typed allocators, etc. C and C++ achieve "zero abstractions" by defining any of the costs incurred by the language design choices as being UB and out of the scope of the language itself. Which is certainly a strategy.
Also, I cannot stress enough how amazing it is to me that you were able to get that domain.
