C++23/C++2b

Looking at the compiler support page at cppreference:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

WTH?!? Has C++20 been officially finalized and released so now C++23/C++2b can be endlessly debated and slapped around silly?

This is just a simple First World Problem rant, a silly little observation of little to no actual consequence.

Giraffe: a horse designed by committee.

finalized, though not yet released - the corresponding ISO page https://www.iso.org/standard/79358.html is still 40.00 DIS Registered (meaning the committee is done and sent the final draft to ISO for its member states to vote)

Thanks for the update and the link, Cubbi.

Number of pages : 1829

WHOA! That seems to be a bit excessive to this hobbyist programmer. Almost as wordy as a legal document.

I noticed belatedly the last page update was on 28 March 2020, so C++20 has been locked down awaiting final voting for over a month.

Any word about proposed ideas for C++2b yet that at this time look to be seriously considered for adoption?

they need to stop messing with trendy stuff and do a quality of life pass to fix all the little odd things that have been ignored for too long.
