Cppfront, Herb Sutter's proposal for a new C++ syntax
Man, the negative sentiment on this site towards C++ is pretty alien to me.C++ is (I'm guessing) currently holding up an order of magnitude more applications than whatever you think is better than it. Clearly it has upsides, so it's baffling to me when people greet attempts to reduce the downsides with either "This doesn't make sense, just scrap it for something else" or endless nitpicks about the approach chosen.A smart guy has decided to put his time towards improving a hugely influential language. That seems like an uncontroversial positive to me, and I welcome any useful results.
