Pull up a chair, grab a beer, and let me tell you what's really happening in the C++ committee these days...


Hey there! So you want to know what's actually important in the C++ standards world right now? I have read it all for you so you don’t have to.

The Stuff That Actually Matters (Utterly Important)

Listen, there are really only three things happening in C++26 that will change your life as a developer, and if you don't pay attention to these, you're going to be left behind.

First up: Reflection (P2996). This is the big kahuna, my friend. We're talking about the ability to look inside your code at compile time and actually do something useful with it. Remember all those times you wished you could iterate over struct members or generate code based on what types you have? Well, Barry Revzin and the gang have been working their butts off to make this happen. This isn't just another template trick - this is going to fundamentally change how we write C++. If you're not learning about reflection now, you're going to feel like you're coding in the stone age come 2026.
