This is fairly interesting. MS have extended their C++<br>
compiler<br>
significantly for Windows8 with a bunch of non-standard<br>
stuff.<br>
<br>
<br>
Yeah, while refusing to implement most of C++11.<br>
<br>
<br>
Good! The C++11 committee should be shot. They've got it<br>
completely wrong, and MS have it right for my money! :)<br>
I don't want MORE STL, I want less :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Herb Sutter (the man speaking in your video) is chairman of the C++<br>
standards committee so it's kind of amusing that the stuff you<br>
praise and the stuff you say is wrong are both led by the same man.<br>
Also, he and Andrei wrote a book together (C++ Coding Standards) so<br>
the name drop isn't entirely unexpected. They do the C++ and Beyond<br>
conference together (with Scott Meyers). A large portion of the<br>
questions from the attendees I saw in the Channel 9 videos were about D.<br>

Haha really? Amazing, but he works for Microsoft then I guess? So why is<br>
he fixing C++ for MS, but won't fix the C++ standard its self?<br>
std::function for instance, why add that if he turns around and adds a<br>
proper keyword for MS?<br>
</div></blockquote>
<br>
Because he is just one person in the standards process. That is how standards work.<br>

Each person (or company) just gets one vote.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yeah, well the chairman should have veto rights, and then do it right, like they did at MS :P</div></div>
