I give you that Intelisense is broken as always, and the best experience appears to be with Clion, but I can live with it.

Best experience is VC++ with MSBuild, cmake/ninja work great with latest clang however import std support is not yet enabled by default in CMake.

I only care about VC++ for hobby coding, hence using modules.

See for example, https://github.com/pjmlp/RaytracingWeekend-CPP

I've just spent an hour trying to set up import std to use std::print on MacOS. I got there, eventually with cmake + ninja. I hit an absolutely ludicrious number of errors for effectively a hello world, and I don't understand why in 2026 it is as complicated as it is.

But, no ICEs and it's working! I'll start writing some code with them tomorrow.
