> powerful compile-time and metaprogramming capabilities

While I agree that, generally, compile time metaprogramming is a tremendously powerful tool, the C++ template metaprogramming implementation is hilariously bad.

Why, for example, is printing the source-code text of an enum value so goddamn hard?

Why can I not just loop over the members of a class?

How would I generate debug vis or serialization code with a normal-ish looking function call (spoiler, you can't, see cap'n proto, protobuf, flatbuffers, any automated dearimgui generator)

These things are incredibly basic and C++ just completely shits all over itself when you try to do them with templates
