C++26 Reflection Enables Efficient Type Erasure
A new C++26 reflection proposal enables compile-time type erasure without runtime overhead. The technique uses static reflection to generate dispatch tables, matching the performance of hand-written code. This simplifies generic programming while maintaining zero-cost abstractions.
