Boost and Abseil start deleting their C++14 shims
Two release notes nine days apart point the same way. Boost 1.92 tells Heap and Lockfree users that C++14 support ends here, and Abseil's August LTS deprecates absl::void_t in favour of the standard one. Both are removing code that only ever existed because C++17 was not yet safe to assume.
C++ modules in 2026: import std works, import boost is coming, your IDE still can't
import std compiles on GCC 16.1, Clang 18+, and MSVC. Boost has a per-library module prototype showing 45% build-time reductions. But CMake support is still experimental, clangd needs a full rebuild on module changes, IntelliSense has been 'experimental' for seven years, and almost no libraries ship module definitions. For reflection users: PCH is faster than modules on GCC 16.1 today.
