Where do you go to find your C++ articles and/or news these days?

Well! The second guy this week, who walks in from ages of absence. 
Welcome back, Matthew!

"- just not interested in C++ / C++ libraries any more" would be my choice.

Since I don't want to start earning my bread coding in C++, there's no 
point in keeping more than a "read-only" fluency in C++, and thus any 
libraries become less relevant.


When I last remember having seen you here, D was unknown to most folks. 
Today things are different.

Why not quickly publish what you already have, and then start writing 
about D? Why beat a terminally ill horse, when you should use a car. 
(The horse bit is actually your own first paragraph, above!)

Switch to D, and see Scott Meyers &co sink in the C of obsolesence, 
while your street credibility does the Red Bull.
