Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the tired-of-the-word-committee dept.

Szplug writes "Bjarne Stroustrup has a sneak peek at the additions to C++ that he expects will be completed (hopefully) by 2009. Included are language-defined threads, optional garbage collection, some automatic type deduction, and template concepts. From the article: 'The list of current proposals is still quite modest and not anywhere as ambitious as I'd like. However, more proposals are being considered and more libraries will appear either as part of the C++0x standard itself or as further committee technical reports.'"

    Does anyone expect to still be using C++ in 2009?

    Take a look at the some of the posts round here - sadly it looks like the typical Slashdot poster is pretty stupid these days :(

    Nope. Not OSS!

    1. Firefox; was Netscape core code that was $40+ dollars a binary copy.
    2. KDE; is not open source. It is a hybrid license that is designed to lock people into thinking TrollTech is cool. No one will use this in a corporate environment, it just makes no sense to install a free OS and pay $2500 per developer for the GUI.


    There is no saving merit to C++. It is just resume padding (as usual).
