Is there any project that compiles significantly faster than Chrome while being in the same league in terms of LOC? I'd like to know if you have seen such an accomplishment even if its source is closed.

Is this the C++ version of "you're holding it wrong"?

That's just C++. Undefined behavior is no joke, and it's exceptionally hard to avoid all of it.

it's the c++ version of "why are you still using c++?"

On my case, because sometimes Java or .NET still need a little help from it.

Ideally with Java 10 or C# 8 planned features, it won't be any longer the case, but until then we have quite a few years.
