Future of C++ (C++0x)

Artima Developer Community offers a preview written by Bjarne Stroustrup about what we should be expecting from C++ in the next years:

• Template typedefs (but with a different syntax)
• Sequence constructors, allowing vector v = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0}
• Concepts (not a detailed explanation of how this could be implemented but it is an idea that is clearly needed)
• Autotypes ( for ( auto p = v.begin(); p!=v.end(); ++p) ). This will improve the quality of metaprogramming in C++. The benefit for libraries like spirit will be huge.
