 data types, arrays, hash tables, etc. Famous for producing almost unintelligible error messages, due to extensive use of templates, which
 add generic programming capabilities (but in a crippled and slow way) and also slow down compilation, since C++ still uses C headers, even
 though C++20 introduced modules, almost no compiler at the time of writing this have implemented them properly (or even at all).
