There is, of course, a reason why symbols are used (and keywords are re-used) instead introducing new keywords: backwards compatibility. Whenever a new keyword is introduced, there's a very real chance of breaking old programs and that is considered bad.
What are the bugs you speak of?
- rayiner 13y ago> What are the bugs you speak of? It's part of the quote. I'm not sure if there are bugs with respect to lambdas, but historically, C++ implementations have been pretty buggy. Even with all the resources that go into C++ implementations, it took forever to get ones that correctly supported C++98.
