Deprecated Code Gets Dropped

Text on the meme

We’re dropping the ancient crap (deprecated in C++20) We’re about to get killed (undeprecated in C++26)

What it means

A four-panel comic shows two medieval-looking characters dropping a heavy wooden object, then struggling as it is pulled back up. The joke is about a deprecated C++ feature being removed in C++20 but unexpectedly restored in C++26, turning a planned cleanup into a disaster for programmers.
