Having left the C/C++ professional programming world several years back to wallow in other pastures, I've lost close touch with the languages except at a low-key hobbyist level. That said, I am curious over what is the motivation to pursue updates in 20 and 23? Are there really new features promised that today's programmer simply can't live without or are they all various levels of syntactic sugar or something in between? Is there a concern over whether these changes are making the language ever more complex and obese thus making mastery even harder to achieve?
