C++0x is the planned new standard for the C++ programming language. It is intended to replace the existing C++ standard, ISO/IEC 14882, which was published in 1998 and updated in 2003.

There are a lot of new things, its really interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing it!
What say you?

*sigh* This is very stupid, and unneeded. What is wrong with the C++ standards in place now? Geez, are these revolutionaries.

That's a bold statement - did you really read about it? It is developed by the C++ committee, including Bjarne Stroutrup, so "revolutionaries" would be a misconception.

I, for one, look very much forward to the new standard. A lot of the additions mentioned in the wiki make a lot of sense to me.

Cool features, useful features and a new record low in naming programming languages. C++0x - that looks like they let some scriptkiddy type it!

The x is for "not knowing when" - it's gonna be C++08, probably. The C++ we're using is C++03.

They say it would be C++09.

Wake me up when there's a compiler that implements it.

I was kind of just joking around.

The gcc 4.3 compiler has support for several of the new 0x features. The big ones being variadic templates, rvalue-references, and the interesting parts of tr1. http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/cxx0x_status.html

Some of these features are cool... no doubt.
These are the ones I picked out while browsing through:

Wikipedia wrote: Type Determination // like in C#
New string literals //Unicode baby... YEAH!!!!
User-defined literals
Transparent Garbage Collection

std C lib:
Threading facilities //
Regular expressions
General-purpose smart pointers

I KNOW I could use some of these
