Meta classes and their perceived uselessness

[highwayman]

From what I’ve heard, they(honestly don’t ask who XD) have been saying that in c++20 meta classes will be introduced, and from what I understand all a meta class does is instantiate a class instead of an object. I don’t get it. When am I ever going to use a thing like that?? Honestly isn’t inheritance basically going to do the same thing for me?

Any thoughts?

You've read this and don't get the point?
