C++ Poised for Its Next Stages
Posted by Sachin Garg on 10th November 2005 | Permanent Link
Although most passionate C++ coders already know about this, and many data-compression researchers couldnt care less for anything beyond C, I couldnt resist the urge to post this here.
eWeek talks about upcoming C++Ox standard, although the article treats C++ as way more obsolete than it is, it still puts it’s point across that a new standard is on its way.
The author (Esther Schindler) probably just did a very poor job writing about the recent C++ connections conference.

The *guy*? Last time I looked, I was female.
I sure didn’t imply that the language was obsolete. In fact, I made a point of saying that a high percentage of programmers use it.

My apologies for the guy/gal confusion, its not always easy to figure it out from name and in this industry we dont see many femals, so default assumption is that its a guy (you probably must be used to it).
Now I that I read the article again, I have to agree that it isn’t all that bad. But the first few paragraphs said enough wrong stuff that it kinda made me dislike the article no matter what it said.
And beyond the first few paragraphs, the article mostly just quotes a lot of what people said, which is good, but that is not what YOU thought. What you thought is in first few paragraphs:
So I just wrote what I thought about it.
And a brief look at sessions held at the conference, makes me feel that a lot of interesting stuff happened there, but I was still left wondering about what all was discussed there.
Anyway, thanks for all the info your article provided and aplogies again for that male/femal mishap, I have fixed it.
