The C++ standard board has finalized the draft for C++ 26, introducing groundbreaking features such as contract programming, asynchronous sender/receiver, and notably, static reflection capabilities. Herb Sutter emphasizes that the adoption of reflection is a pivotal moment for C++, potentially transforming how developers write code and expand language expressiveness in the next decade. For example, developers will soon be able to convert enums to string values at compile time using the new reflection capabilities.
Thought-provoking question: How do you think the introduction of static reflection in C++ will impact existing coding practices and toolchain designs in the long term?
