Roadmap updates for 2025+?

[tattwamasi]

I love seeing activity in this project. It’s of deep interest to me. I’m curious about the general goals for the rest of the year for the code and project in general. Is there anywhere where the community should focus (or not focus)?

Reflection seems to be a current focus. It makes sense to get it sorted out and aligned to the C++ reflection efforts. It will be amazing to see great examples of what it’s going to enable.

For me, ease of integration with the rest of the C++ universe is still the biggest pain point, driven primarily by exception handling and module support. I know both both have been noted and discussed on other discussion posts, PRs, & issues, and can (sort of) be worked around. I understand they may not be as much “grit” in the process to others, though it would be cool to not have to keep updating/applying the module patch and I would gladly help however possible to get that handled.

So back to the focus & roadmap question - what would you recommend interested people (should we say community members?) look at, work on, think through? Or are we in a deep think stage where best to step back and see where things develop?

Very much so. https://cppcon.org/2025-keynote-herb-sutter/

👍
I watched and appreciated that. A lot of energy from them. I’m sure it’ll be interesting to see how cpp2 fits with c++26+ reflection as implementations progress.

@tattwamasi That talk hasn't happened yet. It is three weeks from today.

lol. Clearly I’m thinking of another I saw recently on YouTube. There have been several on reflection including one with Herb talking. I’ll be on the lookout for the new one. Thanks for the correction.

No problem, I consider it part of my job of being on the conference staff. :)

You might have seen this one which was posted on his blog only a week ago. (I haven't even seen this yet, just found it): https://herbsutter.com/2025/08/19/my-c-on-sea-talk-video-posted-three-cool-things-in-c26/
