C++11 is still C++ though. I've been writing pretty much exclusively C++11 for the last year, and, while they've added a lot of very nice features and I find it painful to go back to C++03, it's still a huge language with lots of hoary edge cases and everything and the kitchen sink built in (now with rvalue reference and move semantics for extra verbosity!). I haven't touched Rust since 0.7 (where I abandoned it after filing two bugs on the project before I even got argument parsing working), but it's the most promising of the new batch of languages in my mind, and I have some side projects in mind I'd like to try when 1.0 comes out.
