The C++ library is algorithmically and data structure feature complete for most purposes. It doesn't have what boost and other libraries have, but that's okay. Ideally, a platform should ship without a standard library and use package management for all but built in types.

The problem with C++ template metaprogramming style is symbol length, the notation ordering, and diagnostics generated from those that easily turn into absurdity.

A random file in the standard library:

Honestly I don't think it's that bad if you can look past all the underscores. I looked around for something worse but maybe I'm just accustomed to the eyebleed that C++ has to offer. To me, Rust is uglier, but that's because it's been around a quarter of the time that I've been using C++ and I don't know what all the symbols do without looking up a cheatsheet.

If you want ugly look at the MSVC std.

Party pooper. Don't you know we are just here to bitch and moan?

Look, I'll admit, it looks terrible from the view that gdb gives... but when you see the whole file, it's just not so bad.
