People working towards syntax improvements as well to C++ now,
which they believe will pave the way for semantic improvements
that break backwards compatibility with C++
Taken from the repo:
> **Important disclaimer**: This isn't about 'just a pretty
> syntax,' it's about fixing semantics. The unambiguous
> alternative syntax is just a means to an end, a gateway that
> lets us access a new open space beyond it — and sure, if we
> build a gate, then the gate ought to look nice too, so we build
> it with good boards and paint it nice colors. But the gate is
> the doorway, the portal, not the goal... the real payoff is
> gaining access to that new open space in C++ that's free of
> backward source compatibility constraints where we can
> (finally) fix semantics — order-independence, great defaults,
> regular composable semantic meanings — as we see fit.
