Clice v1.0 Released: Welcome to Modern C++

I discovered Clice a few months ago, but it wasn't stable enough for my needs at the time. It looked very promising, though. I'm glad to hear it's moving to v1.0.

I didn't expect this technical article to end on such a melancholy note. I'm sad that the author feels this way about his work of last years. But it was an interesting read, and I think many of us share these concerns and doubts. Hopefully, even in a word of AI agents, there will still be a people that write and read code, and who will enjoy using Clice.

Interesting they show clangd crashing in vscode. That's been my biggest gripe with it. But they also show clice crashing in the same spot? Seems odd to not just fix it

The biggest issue with clangd (and a derivate like this) is that it is at least three orders of magnitude slower than non-clang based indexers like the old ones in Eclipse and Qt Creator. It used to be that I could index a huge codebase in a couple minutes; clangd takes days and therefore we have to trouble with stuff such as remote indices. Frankly, I'd trade anything in the world for a fast indexer that is NOT based on clang, even if it were not perfect (which is kind of the point).

Why is there a cartoon of a young girl as the header image? Isn't that a bit...weird?

Going on a tangent, but I'm always owndering if "modern C++" sounds rather appealing or off-putting to most people?

Interesting project and great writeup! Looking forward to try this.
