All you're going to get is C++ hard coded for the problems that they see. It will probably have little effect on the stuff I work on. For instance, pointer abstraction. C++ sucks. The problem is that you can almost abstract them in C++. If it had done a worse job, they would have been forced to do it right. On top of that, they're way too vested in the highly contrived solutions they've put into their template libraries. Simplify C++ so you don't need to put up with all that nonsense? It will never happen. -- Joe Seigh .
