The upcoming C++26 standard introduces enhanced support for `constexpr`, allowing for more extensive compile-time programming in the core language. This advancement enables developers to write more efficient and expressive code, leveraging `constexpr` in a wider range of contexts which can significantly improve performance and optimization of applications. However, there are still limitations, such as the inability to cast types like `char` to `uint8_t` within `constexpr` expressions, which some users lament as a missed opportunity for further enhancing the language's capabilities.
