Do they point at python 3? They were committed to backward compatibility long before python3 happened.

To me it feels like they have fleshed out key paradigms so that is not a mess anymore. They are not there yet with compile time evaluation (constexpr consteval,...), at least with C++20, not sure if it's mostly finished with C++23/26.

The language itself and std is quite bloated but writing modern C++ isn't that complicated anymore in my experience.
