Interview Update With Bjarne Stroustrup On C++0x

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the name-spelling-indicates-language-complexity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DevX interviewed Bjarne Stroustrup about C++0x, the new C++ standard that is due in 2009. Bjarne Stroustrup has classified the new features into three categories: Concurrency, Libraries and Language. The changes introduced in Concurrency makes C++ more standardized and easy to use on multi-core processors. It is good to see that some of the commonly used libraries are becoming standard (eg: unordered_maps and regex)."

  1. And Then COBOL 2009 by curmudgeon99 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    C++? Isn't that dead and buried? Bjorne created one interesting thing in his life and he is hell bent on keeping it alive--after Java and C# have buried it. Anyone ever tried to get a C++ job? They are few and far between. Java for sure and C# slightly have killed it. How many of you have had to spend countless hours tracking down memory leaks? It's all thanks to Bjorne and his crap C++. Next thing, someone will be pushing a new version of COBOL!

    Ah, another idiot that blames the brush because he cannot paint. Don't blame a real language because you need one of those dumbed-down tell-a-tubby languages. Some people just weren't meant to program. Maybe your company has an opening for a janitor. I've forgotten more about any language than you'll ever know.

    Hopefully C++'s revision is better than the crapfest that is "D&D" 4.0.

    Spoken like a true crap head who can't deal with change.
