- dtf 17y agoD's great for at least two reasons: 1) it set out to be a no-compromise systems programming language 2) it's being designed by people with an deep and intimate knowledge of C++ (Walter Bright wrote a C++ compiler - no mean feat, and Alexander Stepanov was Mr STL) These guys know the good, the bad and the ugly of C++ much better than most. From the stuff I've seen so far (check out Stepanov's presentations on an iterator-free STL, or adding functional purity, and also look at the work on making floating point more rigorous) this could finally be a worthy successor.
