I should have said the "latest standard", not "spec", if we're being technical. But EVERY bit of official material is very clear about asserting that C++23 is still a preview/in-progress, not a standard. Saying otherwise is, strictly speaking, incorrect.

And quite frankly, what matters to devs is what tooling supports the specification without special configuration, and the answer is "basically none". Not a single compiler fully supports it.

Also, side note, I'd be surprised if more than a third of C++ devs were even using C++20, based on last year's numbers showing only ~25% adoption:
