⚠️ Note on C / C++

C and C++ are intentionally excluded from this table because:

  • They lack a universal, standardized package manager. Tools like Conan or vcpkg exist but are not universally adopted.
  • Libraries are typically integrated via compilation flags and manual linking (e.g. -lfoo, CMake find_package(), or pkg-config).
  • Dependency management varies significantly by platform, compiler, and build system.

For these reasons, C/C++ is also excluded from the automatic install command generator.
