Reflection voted into C++26: "Whole new language" -- Herb Sutter

The first trip report from the Sofia meeting is available:

Trip report: June 2025 ISO C++ standards meeting (Sofia, Bulgaria)

by Herb Sutter

From the article:

c26-reflection.pngA unique milestone: “Whole new language”

Today marks a turning point in C++: A few minutes ago, the C++ committee voted the first seven (7) papers for compile-time reflection into draft C++26 to several sustained rounds of applause in the room. I think Hana “Ms. Constexpr” Dusíková summarized the impact of this feature best a few days ago, in her calm deadpan way… when she was told that the reflection paper was going to make it to the Saturday adoption poll, she gave a little shrug and just quietly said: “Whole new language.”

Mic drop.
