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

Posted by timothy on Thursday July 23, 2009 @06:48AM 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!"

How about you heat that crowbar until it glows, cram it up your ass, and stir it around until baked shit pours out of your navel, you ass-sucking lemur?

Nigger problem.

No, really. Blacks are the angriest people you'll ever meet. Just don't look up when you talk to them or they'll beat the shit out of you...unless you're a fat white woman.

And btw before someone mentions something like Azureus as a counterexample, I've seen Firefox still eat up more RAM than that program if they are running for the same period of time and that's with about 10 or so torrents running in it.

If you think C++ is staggeringly complex, you're probably not in a position to evaluate whether another 40 pages of complicated features is going to make the language any better.

Yes, but since every Java and .NET app are supposed to be super bloated wouldn't they by that very virtue have bigger executables and use more RAM than any C or C++ program? Or maybe my point was that such oft-repeated hyperbole is moronic.

Stupid fag. They always do that when talking specific version of a language. Now go back you jerking off over your pathetic Java code.

Can't we use a decent 21st century language
