- maxlybbert 10y agoI realize that many projects haven't made the switch, and in some cases they have good reasons to be cautious. And I realize that many programmers aren't familiar with the various changes, even after five (or more) years to catch up. But that doesn't change the age of the standard, or the fact that C++14 was published, and the Committee is finishing up C++17. At some point it's silly to call C++11 "new." "Unfamiliar," sure, but not "new." It reminds me of Larry Wall's talk ( http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.html http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.html ) "Do you know when New College was founded. Any guesses? New College was new in 1379."
