Design and Evolution of C++

November 29, 2007

Driving home from work, I listened to this podcast on the Design and Evolution of C++. Somewhere half way through, Ted Neward mentions the new thread library in C++0x. I found Herb Sutter's response quite amusing:

Any language from this point forward that ignores concurrency is basically not relevant for mainstream applications.

Take that C#! Maybe F# is the wave of the future? But there appears to be hope at the horizon, as the first preview of the ParallelFX extensions has been made available for download.

If you and your team want to learn more about how to write maintainable unit tests and get the most out of TDD practices, make sure to have look at our trainings and workshops or check out the books section. Feel free to reach out at infonull@nullprincipal-itnull.be.
