- Nursie 14y agoWhile this is flippant (and amusing) there's an underlying truth here somewhere - I've really not met many C programmers who care about new language features. C++ folks do seem to care a lot about which features of boost are going to be folded into the language spec and runtimes and what else has been dreamt up for their baby, and how they're going to be able to be more efficient, safer and gosh-darnit just all-round smarter in future. C programmers mumble something about being busy and already having the tools they need to do everything, though (grudgingly) that VA_ARGS preprocessor extension from '99 was quite handy I suppose... (I'm a C programmer by trade and history, working on C++ at the moment, just in case I pissed anyone off enough to start a holy war :)
