Star The State of the Language: An Interview with Bjarne Stroustrup
Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Wed 20th Aug 2008 19:37 UTC
General Development DevX interviewed Bjarne Stroustrup about C++0x, the new C++ standard that is due in 2009. Bjarne Stroustrup has classified the new features into three categories Concurrency, Libraries and Language. The changes introduced in the Concurrency makes C++ more standardized and easy to use on multi-core processors. It is good to see that some of the commonly used libraries are becoming standard (eg: unordered_maps and regex).

I see all higher level programming languages to "tailor-made" software for business and enterprise operations, but C++ for the rest and I do not see a world full of commercial software implemented just in C# or Java.


Hey, as long as Sun's Hotspot Java VM is written in C++, there clearly is a place for C++ ;) . For an extensive (and impressive) list of C++ applications see:

And don't forget the Joint Strike Fighter :p:
