Indeed, that is exactly what many FAANG companies are doing, have you noticed the slow down in velocity in major compilers regarding ISO C++ compliance?

See Apple’s slowdown on clang development and subsequent advances in Swift<->C++ interop (even going as far as merging Swift code into FoundationDB)

And ofc Google’s investment in Carbon

Or MSVC slow pace with C++23, after being the first to reach full C++20 support.

Everyone else outside the big three, is somewhere between C++14 and C++17.

Nope, still using C++17 and not bothered by any slowdown. C++ has been moving too fast lately.

It is currently an open debate what will be the very last ISO version the world will care about, C++17 might be the one, or C++26, bets are open.
