It is telling that Ada and Rust are only ones that many people in the C++ community would ever consider.

Because at the scale many companies use C++, the additions into ISO C++, for how bad WG21 process currently might be, don't land there because a group of academics found a cool feature, rather some company or individual has seen it as a must have feature for their industry.

Sadly also a similar reason on how you end up with extension spaghetti on Khronos APIs, CSS levels or what have you.

Naturally any wannabe C++ replacement to be taken seriously by such industries, has to offer similar flexibility in featuritis.

Maybe it's just me but, sorry, I cannot parse this sentence.

I'm not them, but I'll try reordering the sentence to help you parse it better.

As bad as the WG21 process might be, the additions into ISO C++ don't land there because a group of academics found a cool feature; they land there because some company or individual has seen it as a must-have feature for their industry.
