ISO C++ Standards Committee Panel Discussion

on YouTube ↗01h 27m

" summary

Panelists state concrete outcomes and pain points: C++23 lands import std so the standard library becomes a module, modules adoption shows much faster builds, and parallelism work lives in a parallelism TS for prototyping; the committee removes long‑broken features like auto_ptr and deprecates bad defaults such as default capture of this; volunteers number about ~1000 regular contributors and meetings run hybrid with most of the C++23 cycle done online; missing pieces called out are a package manager and stronger static analysis to enforce core guidelines.
