I made a facetious comment to parry that of pjmlp, whom also made a facetious comment wrt to compiler complexity and what "one person" can do.

It is like if one tried claiming that Fabrice Bellard was an example of a median dev.

The number of C++ compilers written by one person is one. And because of this, it gives us no predictive power in what pjmlp was trying to assert.

I agree with you, Albert and Lorentz and Riemann got caught in the rhetorical crossfire.



Not exactly the same but here https://github.com/robertoraggi/cplusplus there is one person serious effort to create a C++-23 compiler front end.


It does look serious, and is able to parse one simple case I got at hand that openwatcom and orangec failed, thanks for bringing it up.
