When C++ compile times aren't long enough, let's make them longer.

My first question that comes to mind, why compile this to C++ 
when you have C which is much faster and you can do the same 
thing. Essentially this is what Nim does which has full meta 
programming that can be compiled to C.

C++, isn't holding up anymore and is too simple let's make C++11
Let's make C++11 modern -> C++20
C++20 has a complicated and ugly syntax, let's fix that with 
CppFront.
... and it just goes on, taint it up, taint it up.

Even more funny is that this is from Herb Sutter which is one of 
the biggest influencers of "modern C++".
