ISO C++ Committee Approves C++0x Final Draft
Randyll writes "On the 25th, in Madrid, Spain, the ISO C++ committee approved a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) for the C++ programming language. This means that the proposed changes to the new standard so far known as C++0x are now final. The finalization of the standard itself, i.e. updating the working draft and transmitting the final draft to ITTF, is due to be completed during the summer, after which the standard is going to be published, to be known as C++ 2011. With the previous ISO C++ standard dating back to 2003 and C++0x having been for over eight years in development, the implementation of the standard is already well underway in the GCC and Visual C++ compilers. Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, maintains a handy FAQ of the new standard."

This one still makes me laugh

Ah, it's articles like this that make me so glad I'm retired!
C++ programmers have it too easy. Why, in C we had to code our own bugs. C++ programmers just inherit them!
How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of C++ after all it has been through!?
What you don't realize is that C++ is making you all this money, and all you do is write a bunch of crap about it!
Leave Bjarne alone!! You're lucky he even publishes an FAQ for you BASTARDS!!
Speaking of professionalism, since when is it professional to publicly bash a language whose standard is going through a hard time?
Anyone that has a problem with C++ you deal with ME, because it's not well right now!

Yes, it is competitive with C++, I'm not sure why you felt the need to restate this...
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
