Will C++ 26 a game changer?
Yes, maybe for C++ Programmers......
OOP or parts of it is another story.
IMHO the discussion here (in this forum) is leading nowhere.
For me, the matter is (completely) clear: Use the language that best suits the task at hand. Or the one you like best, or the one you are best at.

C++ is the ugliest and most bloated programming language ever. All programming paradigm are dumped into it in an ugly way. I don't know why you want to use C++ as example of OOP. There are way better examples. v26 does not add anything that changes the fact that it's specification takes 1800+ pages and every programmer has his own way of doing things. Bad too is that MS makes quite a few new API's accessible through C++ only. And ugly at that too (webview2, of which quite some functionality is missing in PB, like handy stuff like profiles) - or very incomplete (virtual desktop).
C++ may be for certain coders feel it as ugliest and bloated because of OOP + STL but it is not cause C++ in 2025 as to Tiobe gives the C++ in 2e position, because C++ is widely used in the industry and by all level of programmers, Photoshop is written in C++, same for Unreal engine, same for Godot and so etc...
Can you say me for what are way better examples ? I am very open.

Ok, let's wrap this topic which is going nowhere.
