Only once the standard is voted in.  :-)

Also ranges are in I believe.

I have not used C++ co-routines, but having used Rust co-routines, they seem
fine. You need to make good on your negative criticism – which I would like to
hear.

I can believe that may be true for others, but for me JetBrains CLion, Rustup,
and Cargo make for an excellent environment. crates.io works very well –
better than CLion, CMake, and lots of manual hacking around to get libraries
for C++.

That is a choice for those organisations. I am guessing those organisations do
not use Java, D, Python, etc.

In C, but yes. Though I haven't done it in a while now.
