compile time and binary size of the stdlib implementations of format and print.

watch the video.. it's only 7mins

@vitaut

yes, I am aware.

I just thought Jason covering it, would be good opportunity to broaden awareness of the real cause of the issue (QoI) and that we can hopefully expect improvements.

stdlibc++ needs to follow suit...
waiting for MSVC might take a long time.

@vitaut

I think there are plenty of non-committee people who are not aware that <format> and <print> compiling at turtle speed and bloating binaries to supernova size is a pure QoI issue...

Even Jason didn't really make that clear in his video. I assume he knows, but most of the audience doesn't, as can be seen by the comments.

@oschonrock @vitaut When nobody implements something in a great way, then maybe it is not an implementation issue? Maybe it is the standard? Or maybe it is an organisational issue?

Maybe people that care for C++ need to maintain a good reference compiler frontend and let the compiler people care for the compiler backend stuff?

@hunger @vitaut

It is precisely this lack of clarity why i brought this up.

There is an excellent reference implementation.

It's called {fmt}.
