Unfortunately this will never happen. The C++ committee, to my understanding, has made it very clear that they want to bless no tooling and are only concerned with the language itself.

Maybe it would be a better situation of a secondary organization started up that acted similarly to how NodeJS as a tooling platform operates with ECMAScript, the language definition.

I'm really quite fond of C++ the language, but the tooling around it always makes me hesitant to try anything new with it when so many other languages' ecosystems have come so far.
