Yes, but given the significance of C++, it really should be 
leading.. not following (at snails pace).

C++ simply has too much legacy stuff to contend with..and that 
will continue to hold it back.. forever.

The best C++ can do, is (slowly) think about copying what others 
are doing..to the extent C++ can handle it, and to the extent the 
'committees' agree to doing it.

C++ is like a Jackson Pollock painting - I look at it, and think 
to myself...wtf!

Of course it's all in the eye of the beholder.
