This is the theory, yes. And then reality comes bursting through the door and you are confronted with the awfulness that is the C/++ toolchain. Starting with multi-OS, multi-architecture builds, and then plunging into the cesspit that is managing third party dependencies.

Let’s be real. C/++ has nothing even approaching a sane way to do builds. It is just degrees from slightly annoying to full on dumpster fire.
