C++26? There are having issues with delivering C++23, since the whole change in security focus with Rust, Go, C#, Java first, C and C++ for existing codebases, and most likely one of the reasons Herb Sutter is no longer at Microsoft.

Oh wow, I don't write C++, so I didn't know how bad the situation was. My recollection that MSVC always implemented C++ standards posthaste is clearly outdated.

Yup, we are never getting C23. Good thing C11 is decent enough, I guess.
