Yes, we need simpler tools all the way down the stack, and that disqualifies C++.
But even so, the point of building such an environment, nevertheless, is to bootstrap it—not stay attached to some simpler text environment forever.

Zig, Rust, and C++ all suffer from the same backwards philosophy which suggests that the solution to our problems is to make the compiler more sophisticated in order to offer more quality of life features. That could not be further from the truth.
