gui_starter_template

I actually just tried to play around with what seems to be a "modern c++" boilerplate project. It uses CMake, conan for packaging, clang-tidy and cpp-check, and has templates for fuzz and unit testing[1]. I found it because qtcreator and kdevelop were weirdly clunky and created partly broken qt projects and I figured I wanted to add a package manager and qt to the mix. The template looks really fancy, but it's so incredibly slow, to the point of being unusable. It's a ramble yes. But the point is modern C++ tools seem to have added some niceties to the language, but they also brought more of the main C++ issues, i.e. slow compile times and nasty boilerplate in the build process. Yes, I realize CMake isn't modern and there are a bunch of new build tools. [1] https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/gui_starter_template
