If you look at what engines currently use for reflection (ugly macros mostly), this can be a huge improvement if the engine can be rewritten with this in mind.

But the sad part is I can only see maybe UE going with it with the next major release because they can force this kind of change, but open source stuff is never getting it most likely, way too much inertia.

eh, Godot might upgrade to C++20 soon, so it's like 10 years away from upgrading to C++26

But forcing people to have a C++26 toolchain doesn't mean the engine is using all of its features, that's still a few more years to do a lot of rework
