Re: A header-only C implementation of C++ <algorithm>

I feel sick everything time when I see C++ related stuff, simple & fun programming got so complicated just because some big name "committee members" who insist to spend 30 years to standardize networking/filesystem/reflection refuse to simplify their craps. yes, they haven't got that completed yet.

I guess we can wait another 30 years and there will be a C implementation of the C++ reflection or networking?

You don't really need to wait if you're willing to use Objective C with the GnuStep framework.

You'll get reflection, and a lot of other nice addons[1].

[1] Dunno about network support; ISTR it being part of the GnuStep framework, but could be wrong.

You can always just use Boost. I don't think I've ever worked on a C++ project that didn't use it!

std::filesystem = boost::filesystem - 1.30.0, 2003

std::optional = boost::optional - 1.30.0, 2003

God I wish everything was done in this way. Even the C standards committee moves too fast and adds features that have no place in the standard.
