I agree it's too tough to define. So I'm just basing this off of vibes. One of my closest friends is a really good C++ programmer, so that's where I'm coming from. I'm not a C++ programmer at all.
I think the C++ standard might be the biggest. Like, just the amount of compiler passes it does and what means when is kind of insane. I shouldn't even have seen that in my life, yet I did. I guess that's what friends are for :')
But the ecosystem of C++ seems quite small compared to others as C++ programmers want to build stuff themselves.
So it depends if you just look at the standard versus the ecosystem.

What size? Lines of code, Megabytes, kilograms, kilometers?
Building blocks / concepts
what is a building block? A library?
I'd be surprised if npm universe is not >10x bigger than all public c++ libraries combined.
The question is too vague to have any meaningful answer.
