New version of C++ standar

[Alexander Dong Back Kim]

Hi all,

I've seen arguments related with the doubts whether C++ can deal with
current computing environment since it become one of the oldest
language and other young languages like C# and JAVA came out.

My question is when would be the time new version of C++ come out and
rocks all the other childish languages? =)

cheers,

The current C++ standard was promulgated in 2003. The C# standard is
ECMA 334, which was published in 2006, so it's newer, but not by a huge
margin. The C++ standard committee is working on the next standard and
hopes to publish it in 2009. Being an ISO standard, it's open to
considerably more scrutiny than an ECMA standard though, so the chances
of a delay in its publication are probably somewhat higher.

C# is actually C#/CLI. .NET is a CLI-compliant Virtual Machine. C#/CLI
is to be compared with C++/CLI.

C++/CLI is far more powerful language than C#/CLI. More precisely
according to Microsoft, C++ (C++/CLI) is the systems programming
language of .NET.


Java is actually Java/JVM, that is a language (syntax), tied with Java
Virtual Machine. SUN could open Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to more
languages (syntax) than Java, like Microsoft does for .NET Virtual Machine.
