Why the fuck can't POD types have trivial constructors? Something like this:

struct Color
{
u8 R, G, B, A;
Color (u8 r, u8 g, u8 b) { R = r, G = g, B = b, A = 0xFF; }
};

Virtual functions I understand, but this? WHY?

umm, i don't know sepples so i don't understand your snippet
anyway, my point was that if ruby, which is a slow language can compute 2**(2**20) in seconds and give us the complete result why mate's calculator based on super-duper fortran takes 5 minutes and gives an approximate result. also the number on the op pic isn't the result of 2**(2**20) but probably of a similar or less demanding task, since the number which is a result of 2**(2**20) has 315653 digits while op's has just 180907 zeros

Yeah, C++ is just C with classes! It's not like there's severe specification bloat or anything.
