Where do people even pick this sort of stuff up to take with them into industry? Are they teaching Electron development now in undergrad CSE programs instead of C?

Speaking of C languages

C++ still does need more resources to compile programs than AAA games and keep running for 20min / 1h / 2h / 4h?

What were they teaching those compilers engineers and language designers back in the day? nothing about writing performant code, performance tests, regressions and yada yada?

This is actually true, LLVM had no performance regression infrastructure until recently, even though it was marketed as the fastest compiler.

C++'s main speed issue is of course that it's the most text-based language ever and many entire libraries are implemented as headers due to the fragile base class issue.
