   >because 4GB of RAM is insufficient for a C++ compiler in current year
   
   Are you building the app as a x64 app on 4GB?
   Just use x86.
   
   You can also place ram usage limits on your apps

   Are you using default settings or the latest release build of C++ with all the tact on garbage?

   That's a shit ton of libraries

   It's on the todo list try it out.

   Good thing you didn't see how cancerous VB.net was.

   What? qt6 is a library and the DevTerm is ARM. If you are talking about the screenshot, that's old, that's qt4, I think. I used to use luakit, so I had to build qt back then, too.
   
   "x64" is not real, and it's a stupid coinage: 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, these are x86 CPUs. The 64-bit ISA is called, depending, AMD-64 or x86-64. Microsoft came up with "x64" because "AMD-64" had AMD's name in it, "x86-64" has too many SCARY NUMBERS, and changing "32" to "64" in "IA-32" wouldn't work because the "I" part is no longer true.

   Did you just send someone that has been using Linux since the 90s a StackOverflow link where the only piece of information is the ulimit man page? Do kids these days actually not know how to type `man ulimit`? Do you call /bin/sh an "app"?
   
   :tyrellshades: Why don't you like these pipes?
   :elliotthinking: Because they leak.
   :tyrellshades: Show me where it leaks!
   :elliotmanic2: Here, here, here...
   :tyrellshades: But duct tape is so cheap!
   :elliot: ...
   
   Nothing you are telling me makes C++ less shitty to use. None of it makes C++ programs less shitty.

   I lived through it. I had already ditched Windows for Linux by then. I saw happy99 and Code Red and nimda and Slammer in the news. (And happy99 in my inbox.) I was there.
   
   C++ was already shit in 1998 and it has not gotten any smaller or more manageable. That is 26 years ago. I don't know what you write, maybe C++ makes sense for you, it has never made any sense for anything I have ever written in my life and 1998 is before most people on fedi were born.
