As far as I can tell C++11 was mostly an absorption of existing 
practices, largely syntactical in nature. Lambdas are only 
syntactical sugar over function objects (which  in turn is a weak 
version of Beta patterns, a language Bjarne most certainly knew 
of as he has complained about someone running off with his book 
on the language and the fact  that he shows a lot of respect for 
Kristen Nygaard). The for loop was pure syntactical sugar over 
STL iterators, on the level of a C-macro...

Beta has it.

Simula. Which C++ is a direct descendant of.

Well, the only big thing in C++11 was standardization of 
ownership mechanisms and getting more compact syntax for function 
objects (lambdas).

The C++ language semantics didn't change much IMO. The idioms has 
changed a lot though. Although it isn't as visible in the 
codebases on github yet...
