Stroustrup: an overview about C++0x

Dr. B. Stroustrup

A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied in the design of C++0x. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO C++ standards committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an hour, I’ll take questions.

Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup is the original designer and implementer of the C++ Programming Language.

It’s a video (available also for download in a plenty of different formats) recorded in the University of Waterloo (Canada) at the Computer Science Club.

A very interesting lecture from the father of C++. I don’t think you need other details, do you?

Btw, I have already wrote about the new C++0x: the post is in Italian, sorry.
