That's so true. My favorite anecdote on that was back in the 1990's. A friend of
mine said that what he and the world really needs was a Java native compiler.
It'd be worth a fortune!
I told him that I had that idea a while back, and had implemented one for
Symantec. I could get him a copy that day.
He changed the subject.
I have many, many similar stories.
I also have many complementary stories - implementing things that people laugh
at me for doing, that turn out to be crucial. We can start with the laundry list
of D features that C++ is rushing to adopt :-)
