C++26: more constexpr in the standard library

D does compile time function evaluation every time there&#x27;s a <i>ConstExpression</i> in the grammar. It did this back in 2007. It required no changes to the grammar or syntax, it just enhanced constant folding to be able to do function calls.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why it is so complex in C++.

And in the wild (supported by all major compilers) we will see this somewhere around 2040…

love seeing all the constant updates but sometimes i feel like the biggest pain points just stick around way too long - you ever feel like these standards chase the wrong problems sometimes?

One of my first tasks in my carrier was implementing stable sort to incomplete stl implementation. In 3 years no one used it. This so niche it should not be part of C++ standard.

seeing the words &quot;constexpr sorting&quot; makes all the compile-time sirens go off in my head

Amazing, now could I just get a way to do asynchronous network requests in two lines of code, like I have with other languages?<p>Honestly, it seems to me like the committee is constantly chasing the easy bits but is failing to address the bigger issues in the language and, more importantly, the standard library.
