I am looking forward to compile-time reflection, C++ has unusually strong metaprogramming capabilities among systems languages and this will significantly bolster that.

C++ does not win any prizes for being the most aesthetically pleasing programming language but the new syntax around reflection is pretty ugly even by those standards.



Yeah. I was wondering if it would be feasible to have a superset language for C++, much like what TypeScript is for JavaScript. But I guess there's always the risk of bike-shedding hell.


Correct on all counts
