I haven't programmed in C++ for almost 10 years. Recent history has been in C# and Python.

Recently I've been writing a plugin for some software which requires a Windows .dll and calls exported C style functions. I've made a basic wrapper and have a working plugin template, and just discovered C++20 modules.

What is the adoption for C++ modules like in MSVC at the moment, and would it be worth while to convert my header.h files to module.ixx in the current landscape? My current research seems to point to C++ being in a transition phase from headers to modules across compilers. So long as it works in MSVC, what are my chances of a smooth transition at the moment.
