Does CMake meaningfully support modules yet? From what I can tell, the latest activity on this topic[1] is that it's in an experimental state, and requires that you use a bundled version of ninja[2]. I wouldn't expect CLion to support modules before CMake does.

It doesn't matter, they could provide a cmake fork that supports modules

I am a customer, i need module support because we want to embrace C++20 early, i look at what's available and i see Visual Studio supporting modules, the choice is easy to make

Visual Studio has module support since few months already
