    New 'standard' makes C++ more like C++ committee's own language game.
    C++ is dying, and fast.

    I'm subscribed to C++ on Sea's channel <https://www.youtube.com/@cpponsea>
    and watched this video when it came out. Direct video link: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKbT0Vg3ISw>

    The addition of reflection in C++26 is a really good starting point
    for automating some tedious tasks. Things like enum-to-string and string-to-enum code that's annoying to keep up-to-date as the enum set
    evolves. At previous employers, we had an XML data model file and ran
    a code generator tool from the Java world on the XML file to produce C++
    source files which were added to our repository. (We were generating
    protobuf message structures from the data model, among other things.)
    I could easily see C++26 reflection facilities making this simpler.

    I agree with Herb that we're only just starting to see the power of
    the reflection facilities added to C++26. There are already some
    libraries cropping up on github that look interesting.

    However, I would plead with the authors of such libraries to document
    their libraries! I came across several libraries that looked
    "interesting" but didn't provide any tests, examples or documentation
    for the reflection feature they purported to implement, such as
    dependency injection.
