Do C++ developers exist?

Howdy folks! 🤠

I’ve been running an open-source project that turns images into colour-by-number templates. The JS side of things is doing great and I’ve got contributors for that, and they’re awesome.

Getting someone to touch the C++ core is like trying to find a unicorn. Seriously, it’s like C++ is the Black Plague to these people.🧟‍♂️ Everyone wants to work on the fun JS stuff, the frontend & React Hook WebAssembly bridge… but when it comes to the heavy-lifting C++, suddenly it’s “too hard” or “nah, I’ll pass.”

I get it, C++ can be a beast, but this is literally the heart of the project. Without it, none of the clustering or image processing magic even works. It’s like asking someone to play Jenga with bricks instead of sticks: still fun, but way more painful!

So here I am, ranting to the void. You're my last hope. Help me find the only other C++ developers on this earth.😁

If you know of someone who secretly enjoys fighting with C++ memory management and optimization, you are my hero. The JS folks are doing great, but we need some brave souls to dive into the C++ trenches with me so we can help the JS guys continue enjoying life.

Does anyone else feel this pain in OSS projects? Or am I just cursed to be the only one hunting for C++ contributors forever?
