Is this an April Fools joke?

I read it and was like for once they are simplifying C++ instead of making it more complex. But then I realized the date. The fact that this could be considered either way tells you everything you need to know about what’s wrong with C++.

Update: I reread. Definitely an April Fools joke. “...in the upcoming C++23 AF00L proposal.” I’m the fool for missing the joke and also for ever using C++.

-> and :: operators are to be replaced by . operator in the upcoming C++23 AF00L proposal.

Happy 4/1!

What about "const auto static" to declare a variable that gets persisted to disk between programme invocations? Did that make it in?
