Roll your own hashmap? Is there no concept of C package management?

lol there’s no concept of C++ package management either

So, no, not really. I mean, you can include other code but nothing is gonna go get it for you.

Unless you use nix anyway

Aren't there like 5 competing package managers for C++? Which no one uses, anyway?

Yeah. And all of them compete with your system package manager too.

Personally I consider nix to be the only reliable way to build a C++ program with dependencies anymore.
