Hi,
Is anyone else seeing a pattern with the frequency of Microsoft-related
C++ articles (not including advertisements) appearing in the 'C/C++ Users
Journal' over the last 6 months?
It appears that many of the usual columnists are pushing hard to have the
C++ Standard follow several new inventions in the Managed C++ World.
Mostly, these new inventions appear necessary to solve issues .NET is having
with using only standard C++. Interestingly, it appears that Bjarne
Stroustrop is helping Microsoft resolve some of these issues now.
I've never been too convinced of the latest Microsoft WhizBang (there are
so many dying whizbangs from Redmond after all), but to see articles showing
Bjarne's involvement makes me pause somewhat. I personally feel confident
that he has only the best intentions for Standard C++ in mind. I would like
to see anything Bjarne has to say about C++/CLI - has anyone seen any words
of the sort from Bjarne directly?
Some may think that I'm just another anti-Microsoft kind of guy. I am
not. I am a pro-standards kind of guy - which is why I choose to use
Standard C++. My question to anyone interested in answering is: "Are you
concerned at all about the largest software conglomerate, who also now
boasts > 98% C++ Standards Compliance, leading the charge in how Standard
C++ will change in the future?" Also, "Do you believe that one should only
boast once they have achieved 100% Standards Compliance?" Is 98% good
enough so many years after the Standardization was released? Should it
convince us enough to have Microsoft lead the way for us?
Again, I'm only intersted in 100% Standards Compliance. I hope others do
to. I'm curious.
