A recent compiler is always already available: Debian *stable distributions (including LTS) already add a new LLVM major version annually since that is required for the latest Rust every new Firefox ESR branch needs. Since autumn 2022 unstable/stable/oldstable/oldoldstable all have the same version of LLVM 13 (released October 2021) due to that, if a recent C++ compiler was the only problem (it isn't) then everything would be fine. > Berto cu Adrian
