&gt;No compiling and linking required.<p>Seriously ? The only build&#x2F;library ecosystem that I hate more than C++ is javascript&#x2F;node - it has all the same problems (a bunch of competing and incompatible standards&#x2F;tools&#x2F;patterns that do the same thing) but lower quality because of so much noise from low barriers to entry (hey at least you need to get C++ to compile on one compiler - that&#x27;s something).
