I know it's a convention since the inception of the language, but the operator overload abuse of the bitshift operator still makes me sad every time I see it :(

You are not alone. many on the standard committee are trying to get rid of it. std::print is the new way to do io instead of cout in part so you don't have to abuse shift for io. This is new in c++23 though so few people know about it.

Bjarne appears to prefer cout though, so it isn't universal.

		Danish Bjarne may have his < right next to lshift. He needs to use shift+. to enter colon. On US layout colon is a single keypress but < is shift+. This may explain the discrepancy. —- from someone who read Bjarne at 16yo. All hail the Bjarne

On the plus side, it's optional. The same thing can be achieved with put()/get() equivalents.
