A Brief Look at C++0x

One of my colleagues referred me to this url. This is a sneak peek at the next C++ standard dubbed as C++0x. The article is a bit outdated though. Still, i thought it might interest some of us. Now, i have a doubt if this could be the Next Big Language stevey was hinting at. (Be warned, stevey's blogs usually run into some couple of hundred pages ;) ) Technically C++0x can't be a new language. It's just a new standard. If i could venture a metaphor, it's going to be "Old wine in a new bottle with a bit of Fizz and Sparkle". And i don't mean to demean or criticise C++, because C++ is earning my daily bread.

I hope it turns out be as exciting as i thought it could get.
