C++26 reflection?

[artificiel]

How does c++26 reflection (and annotations) fit into the roadmap for sol? Is it a planned, natural evolution path that could complement/refine the current sol approach, or does it bring in too much of a paradigm shift making it more suited to a complete rewrite?

I can’t believe I’m seeing this so soon — first, because it’s C++26, and the library maintains compatibility with older C++ versions; second, because the project is still under maintenance.

I’m not sure if I get your message correctly but reflection is especially suited to generating bindings, and sol is a binding solution. Moreover such a solution requires being a bit ahead of the curve in order to be in place for adoption, and @ThePhD is pretty well aware of the situation and must have formed an opinion on how it impacts the sol design. Finally the public Bloomberg clang fork implements the accepted reflection proposal so as of today you can work with it.
