On: A Proposal to Add 2D Graphics Rendering and Display to C++ [pdf]

[midas007]

The node approach of making dependencies as tiny and reusable as possible is a good model. What C++ needs is a package management, not bloat.

Node works because JavaScript is operating system agnostic. The packages work were there is a VM.

C++ is usually compiled to native code.

A portable package system needs to provide support for all compilers and operating systems targeted by C++ compilers.

I want to be able to write code that does not depend on the convenience from some hobby developers to support AS/400 systems, for example.
