C++0x draft finished

By chys on October 28th, 2008

Only bugfixes, no new feature, will be added to the standard from now on.

Good. It is almost certain it will be called C++ 2009.

As I see, many new features will bring great convenience to programming. But… C++ will appear far more complicated and difficult and perhaps unreasonable to a newbie. It’s already complicated enough now…

Ten years ago C9x became C99, and now C++0x is becoming C++09. But there will be one certain difference: No major compiler completely implements C99 even today; however, every actively developed C++ compiler seems to be planning to add C++09 support as immediately as possible.
