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!"

    Hmm, I didn't know C++ was classified as a Sexually Transmitted Disease, but it kinda makes sense.

    Stroustrup sounds like a strain of strep causing croup, now you're talking about open STD and cocks... That's enough to make even a man with a snake phobia embrace Python instead of C++...
