> pkgsrc is a framework for building third-party software on NetBSD and other UNIX-like systems, currently containing over 17000 packages.
And Fedora/Yum has 18000+ packages.
Thats a hell of a lot of C/C++ source code thats tested and configured to compile with the system compiler.
I think this is a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees. The entire open source community and operating systems development revolve around a set of extremely robust C/C++ package managers. But they are so integral to development at this point that they have become almost invisible.
