"much closer"? I look forward to their new compiler bugs.

  Really? They make progress and all you we any to do is trash talk their efforts?

    The strange vagueness in stating they are "close" means the Microsoft C++ compiler team know they still miss shamefully important pieces, with the necessary consequence that optimistic users expecting C++17 will be bitten by unexpected significant compiler bugs. They should be more open. I respect the progress Microsoft is making, both in the long term (since the dark ages in which they didn't care about standards) and in the short term (a genuine C++17 implementation effort), but their progress is still slower than the competition.

      Not when we take into consideration the C++ commercial vendors as part of the competition pool.
