For example, there's a "cmake" starter on github, that is everything including santizers, but it is, frankly, inaccessible to newbies that just want to learn C++ "from scratch". Compare that to... Rust. You create a new crate from the cli in one command, and then you never have to mess around with the build system. Or even java/kotlin... `gradle init`... and you're mostly done. C++? "Spends 15 minutes reading "build system X" docs...".
