Looking at C++14

&gt;C++14 brings core language support for binary literals, which means you now can integrate binary literals as such in your code:<p>&gt;char c = 0b01011010<p>I can&#x27;t believe this took TWENTY YEARS (or at least that&#x27;s how long I personally have been waiting). Hurray! (I&#x27;m going to hobble my walker over to the desktop and start codin&#x27; binary.)

C++ is still missing optional Reflection&#x2F;Introspection. With that feature it could easily replace majority of todays typed languages (with exception of language such has Haskell or Rust). Reason is that reflextion allows to close a &#x27;external data types&#x27; dissonance that currently is present in C++. In other words it is not possible to develop &#x27;framework software&#x27; that can introspect plugin&#x2F;consumer code to derive how they view the externally defined data sources (eg Databases, UI kits, JSON streams&#x2F;etc).

What is the current state of C++11 support in major compilers (e.g. G++, clang, MSVC)

I was really excited about learning&#x2F;using some of the new stuff coming in c++11 and so on until a new job introduced me to Go lang. Now it seems like all of that stuff and more, elegantly built in instead of bolted on. To be fair I think it has a big bent towards server apps and not all general purpose stuff so it only to me seems better for a subset of all c++ work. on the other hand, Mozilla&#x27;s Rust also looks interesting. Does anyone else feel like c++ is finally starting to be replaced in different segments by more target newer more elegant languages?

I wish they add a new operator: &quot;in&quot; ... then it can be defined in maps and whatnot for lookups: if (123 in x)

&gt; 3781 - Single quotation mark as digit separator<p>Hold on a minute. Why is this even a thing? Do people really use HUGE numeric literals and have so much trouble reading them that this is needed?<p>This just sounds like another parsing nightmare that really should belong in syntax highlighting rather than exist as some obscure language feature.

For the love of God, or some other entity you find holy or unholy.<p>Stop using this bastard of a language. Its an offront to software engineering and must simply <i>die</i>

I here by announce, that C++ next version will be called D! More links here: <a href="http://dlang.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dlang.org</a>
