This library tries its best to mitigate that, catching common errors and whatnot, but it can definitely still happen. C++ doesn't have full token injection yet, so it avoids some of the more common pitfalls, if incidentally.
As an aside, you may want to check out Jai's approach. I believe everything you generate statically gets turned into a file by the compiler for debugging purposes, which it provides references to in the output.
I don’t really like much about C++ anymore, but I still enjoy reading C++ articles and listening to C++ podcasts, and I would consider it beautiful. Oftentimes the things I dislike about it are also the beautiful things. The term “beautiful mess” seems appropriate.
It’s a bit like a well-kept Victorian home. The amount of work, money, and dealing with discomfort that goes into maintaining one isn’t something I really want to experience for myself. But the amount of skill and craftsmanship that it takes to preserve one is still impressive, and I have to appreciate the respect for history and the care that goes into balancing it with modern concerns.
And talking to people who do live the life is always a great learning experience.

...but, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I had the same misunderstanding before I get to know CS. that was 30 years ago.
I'm also glad I do not write C++ on the daily anymore: luckily my software does not need that kind of performance characteristics.
You can write pretty fast and reasonable code nowadays.
