Beauty in C++ may be most similar to lipstick on a pig, but we try our best.

It's more like arranging pigs in beautiful patterns. If you don't look very closely, you don't see the pigs.

I admire you guy keep trying.

I'm also glad I do not write C++ on the daily anymore: luckily my software does not need that kind of performance characteristics.

		I still reach for C++ on the backend. Honestly, with all its warts, I like it overall. You can write pretty fast and reasonable code nowadays.

		Yet I imagine your software depends on C++. Either directly on top of a runtime/compiler written in C++, or as indirect dependency on a C++ compiler toolchain.
