alt Hacker NewsC++23 doesn't have full reflection yet. That's coming in C++26.
I've seen the vast majority of build time in a very large C++23 project be taken up by reflection in fmtlib and magic_enum because both have to use templates (I think).

I didn't said it has, rather that template metaprogramming can be both readable, and with the right compiler relatively fast.
{fmt} doesn't use reflection and is optimized for build speed using type erasure: https://vitaut.net/posts/2024/faster-cpp-compile-times/
