The Design of C++0x

We have a draft for a revised ISO C++ standard, C++0x. I present the background for C++,
its aims, a bit about the standards process (with opinions), some of the guiding design principles
(with tiny code examples), and two case studies. The case studies are initialization (a general and uniform syntax and semantics for initializers
in all contexts) and concurrent support facilities (memory model, threads, locks, futures)
