I eagerly await the day when they do away with the distinction between ".cpp" and ".hpp" files and the textual substitution nature of "#include" and replace them all with a proper module system.


The distinction between *.cpp and *.hpp is purely convention, the compiler does not care at all.

Modules are a disaster.

It's hard enough to get programmers to care enough about how their code affects build times. Modules make it impossible for them to care, and will lead to horrible problems when building large projects.
