[C++20] ClearIO library (unfinished)
Yeah, but parsing format strings in runtime induces an overhead, and doing it in compile time is not trivial, and I’m not sure ClearIO is worth the trouble, since it turns out scnlib exists.

My AoC2021 solutions in C++
The code is rather nice (in my biased opinion) and makes heavy use of a couple of libraries like scnlib and [Eigen](eigen.tuxfamily.org/). Some things could probably be more optimized but I mainly focused on conciseness. I hope this is useful and I can explain my thought process further if you have any questions.

what annoys you most while using c++?
I've found https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib but haven't tested it. Maybe that suits your needs for 2.

The Year is 2022 and the Standard is C++20; what is your preferred way to do Text I/O?
I had a user enum like enum class Color {Red, Green, Blue}; that I wanted to add serialization support for. Following the docs (https://scnlib.readthedocs.io/), after some tweaks I arrived at the following:

Trying to add tests for my cmake for catch2 with ctest.
Another possible issue would be the include(Catch) in your root cmakelists.txt . To include Catch there it must be part of your module path. Otherwise you have to include the path to that catch2 cmake file. Here is that file in their repository - https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/extras/Catch.cmake . I recon that CMake doesn't know about this file since you call find_package(Catch2 REQUIRED) later in your subdirectory
