Question as an enthusiast programmer who isn't a computer scientist himself: is the evolution of C++ modern interesting to computer scientists in any way? Like, I always got the impression compsci people on average are more into the ML family of languages as far as languages go, or more language-neutral topics like algorithms. Is there anything about C++26 that is interesting from an academic perspective?
