No, it did not occur to me. The reason is precisely that I have not seen this mindset among C++ programmers, at least in the open source world. Llvm is an exception.
What I do see is hubris. They are overconfident and pretend that one can use C++ like Haskell, i.e. one can safely go ahead and pile one abstraction onto another.
C programmers at least know the limitations of their language.
This is the just impression that I and many others get. I'm sure there are counterexamples.
