They are still experimental and who knows if the standard will ever get 
them.

The last time I did a 100% fully new C++ project was back in 2005. Since 
then I have replaced quite a few "legacy" C++ applications by JVM/.NET 
based solutions.

Will modules be part of C++17?

Will anyone care about C++17 or will it be like ISO Extended Pascal or 
COBOL 2002? Standards that no one cares to implement.

It is 5 years until 2017, now look back at the IT industry for the past 
5 years and imagine a similar set of changes.
