Right, that is what i meant too. You are more likely to find today people not using C++98 in their new C++ codebases than you are to find people not using Free

Right, that is what i meant too. You are more likely to find today people not using C++98 in their new C++ codebases than you are to find people not using Free Pascal 0.99-era code in their new Free Pascal codebases - largely because there haven't been any dramatic changes in the language over the years that require changing how you work with it. When you get new stuff they enable new features, but rarely things change in how they work - at most you get more conveniences (e.g. you can use a for-each loop in iterators instead of a manual for I:=0 to iterator.count - 1 do..., but that is just a convenience, it doesn't change anything).
