Hi everyone! The next meeting of the C++ Standards Committee (WG21) will be February 18-23 in Kona, Hawaii.
The C++20 cycle is starting to wrap up, and the fate of several large features is likely to be decided at this meeting. Concepts and Ranges have merged at the last meeting, while Coroutines and Contracts are continuing to attract controversy. Modules has achieved fairly broad implementer consensus, and schedule-wise is largely on track to make C++20, but there are concerns about it in the tooling community [1]. The eventual shape of Reflection (a post-C++20 feature) continues to be debated. If you're curious about the state of C++ standardization, I encourage you to check out my blog posts where I summarize each meeting in detail (most recent one here [2]), and the list of proposals being considered by the committee (new ones since the last meeting can be found here [3] and here [4]). I will be attending this meeting, likely splitting my time between the Evolution Working Group (where new language features are discussed at the design level), and the EWG Incubator group (where proposals bound for Evolution undergo a preliminary round of feedback). As always, if there's anything you'd like me to find out for you at the meeting, or any feedback you'd like me to communicate, please let me know! Finally, I encourage you to reach out to me if you're thinking of submitting a proposal to the committee. I'm always happy to help with formulating and, if necessary, presenting a proposal.
