Hi! Build system itself only requires a C Compiler as dependency to work. So if you need a to compile a C++ project, C++ compiler is good to have.

Yes. I suppose that probability to get such bad random distribution which makes SL search to be linear is similar to probability of moving all oxygen atoms to only one side of your room.

Yes, b+trees are more performant for reading compared to skip-list because of better data locality on memory/disk. But SL better at insertion and sequential reads. 255 GB is a simple trade-off between disk space required per record and the ability to manage large data-sets since SL is a not very space friendly data structure) Although I think 255 GB is good enough in many use cases.
