Peering forward: C++'s next decade
summary
Predictable claim: compile-time reflection looks on track for C++26 and already has prototype implementations (EDG, clang) plus cppfront demos. Concrete examples include a compile-time command-line parser and meta-class sugar that generates interfaces, and performance numbers showing generated state machines match hand‑tuned code. Safety work turns uninitialized locals no longer UB into a shipping tool, and call‑site subscript checks run in existing compilers (GCC/Clang/MSVC) today. Watch if interest centers on actual implementations, measurable speed, and adoptability; skip if only the topic name mattered.
