I couldn't find what the actual state of modules are in Clang.

That lengthy blog post is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with C++. Using modules should be a trivial part of the language. Instead, we have to take a detour via historical Objective-C (a language already superseded) and there are enough caveats to make a lawyer blush.

Some languages care to keep 30 years of code compiling, regardless of the new shinny features.
