Slush is possible in C++03 as well. I'd say C++11 is trying to be humane as possible in that regard and not destroy the program (or the output) on account of programmer idiosyncrasies, no?
What I would much rather prefer is a "from scratch" approach to learning C++11 (assuming no prior knowledge about programming, but having a basic knowledge about memory etc...) That would really help curb the tide of novice programmers seduced by sexier languages that have no concept of safety, efficiency and correctness.
- asdfgP 13y agoA good introductionary book about C++11 is "C++ Primer": http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Stanley-B-Lippman/dp/0321714113 http://www.amazon.com/Primer-5th-Stanley-B-Lippman/dp/032171... What I like about this book is that it teaches you the new C++ way right from the beginning. Rather than walking you through the history of C, it gets you to the modern practices immediately. Disclaimer: I have only read the first 10% of the book myself, but so far I like it.
