I fucking hate the process of setting up IDEs and compilers! All the build files, cmake files, tasks, all that shit.

I undrerstand it's integral part of coding, but fuck, why does it always take so long to set up a stupid project. Just let me start coding ffs.

Sometimes I get so frustrated that I rather write a bash script or run the compiler commands in the shell instead of going through the hassle of setting all this up.

    Yeah, it's a pain. Some languages have this easier than others (Maven projects these days are pretty plug and play so long as you have a compatible JDK installed) but I've also spent days before faffing with makefiles and ridiculous IDE settings.

    I think Go has the upper hand here.

    The problem with most older languages is that they have a plethora of tools. So yeah maven and than there is gradle and some setup to access private stuff. Compatibility mode that doesn't work so needs a true 11 JDK next to 17...
    That said I usually have more issues with python. C is usually also quite straightforward on UNIX.
