I had the same reaction staring at all those new features.

Reading the code in that page, I felt as if I looked up only to find the night sky abuzz with otherworldly ships glowing in the dark. It made me anxious. And I wanted to run.

But now I'm wondering, is this my reaction because it's been more than 10 years since I touched any c++ or because the language got really complex? I'm curious what seasoned c++ developers think about this.

Frankly, a lot of the article is obscure corner cases that 99% of C++ developers will not encounter.

It's important that they're there, authors of very generic libraries may have to deal with them. But I'd much prefer to have seen something about modules in that list...
