C++0x standard

Post by Singleton »

I'm curious to know what you guys think of the new C++ standard currently under development. What are the good and bad aspects of it and how is it going to change our programming methods?

I have skimmed through the article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x) and TBH there was a lot of stuff i didn't understand. Lamda expressions sounds pretty cool, so do the shared pointers in the standard library(even though i think boost already has them).
Something i didn't fully understand, but sounds pretty cool nonetheless is the increased support for multi-threaded programs.

I would like to know what someone who knows more about C++ than i do think about it.

I'm honestly not too excited or interested... When you consider how many compilers already exist for platforms that will never support the standard and the fact that these new features will never be supported, it seems not worth my while. That has always been one of the problems with C/++. The languages have always needed to support legacy code, making it extremely hard to add new features to the language...
