Bjarne Stroustrup, inventor of the C++ programming language, is a computer scientist and the College of Engineering Chair Professor of Computer Science at Texas A&M University. He has always been highly involved in the standardization of C++. Since 2004, Bjarne and the standards committee have been busy hammering out the details of a new standard, temporarily titled C++0x. Bjarne was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to speak with DevX C++ Pro, Danny Kalev, about new C++0x features and the state of the C++ language.
The C++0x standard will be finalized during 2009. Can you outline its major features and its overall importance to the C++ community?
