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)."

    I hate to be the one to break the news, but C++ isn't the only thing that's been revised recently...

    ...or, as a former manager explained it, "When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb."

      No, no. It's "C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. C++ gives you enough rope to hang yourself and every programmer who comes after you"
