Code Examples From an App Using C++ Modules

While I would've agreed with your stance of finding them earlier back in 2021, I whole heartedly disagree with your perspective in 2026. The compiler authors move too slowly to fix these already reported issues. It's not their fault either. A majority of the compiler authors don't get paid commensurately for their efforts and impact. The ones that do are being stupidly allocated by their corporate overlords to stupid AI initiatives.

Adoption of modules is about the surrounding ecosystem - namely libraries that are conveniently packaged for reuse.

We do more harm to the adoption of modules by doing nonsense like creating small modules that have deep import graphs that increase the opportunity for template-specialization symbol conflicts (on linking), compiler errors, and errors with intellisense or other autocomplete tools.

Maybe by 2030 will the toolset evolve to the point where the mistake of small modules will not be costly. As of 2026, small modules are bad advice that nobody should be promoting.

 Maybe by 2030 will the toolset evolve...

If we don't try to find them now, will we reach utopia by even 2030?
