Stroustrup Says New C++ Standard Delayed Until 2010 Or Later

Posted by timothy on from the esperanto-wasn't-built-in-a-day dept.

wandazulu writes "At the end of an article written by the creator of C++, where he talks about removing a feature from the new C++ standard, he drops a bombshell: The new C++ standard (typically referred to as C++0x) has been delayed until 2010 or later. What does this mean? No new C++ features like threads, proper enum classes, or hash tables. C++0x is dead, long live C++1x!"

    sure when those 'memory safe' languages produce efficient executables that do not require 400MB 'runtimes' to function.

    So that means Java and .NET are good to go as neither one of them have 400MB runtimes.

    The net result from these sandbox environments is a bloated app that requires 5-10x more ram than is needed.

    Only if you can't code worth shit.
