bruh lol this is so wrong and so confident i don't want to even attempt to explain how wrong you are.

> just C++17 compiled with LLVM

i invite you to attempt to compile/run absolutely any C++17 codebase on your iphone's GPU lol!

I mean "any C++ codebase" doesn't make sense in general. I run C++23 code on ESP32, that doesn't mean I'm gonna build KDE or chrome for it, and that doesn't make it any less C++.

For starters Metal Shading Language is based on C++14, so naturally any C++17 will fail.

Wouldn't any metal app have to be written in C++17?
