[edit] Future development
C++ continues to evolve to meet future requirements. A new version of the C++ standard is currently being worked on, entitled C++0x, denoting that it is expected to be released before 2010. Current work indicates that C++ will continue to capitalize on its multi-paradigm nature. Notable expected improvements are native support for threading and concepts that will make working with templates easier. Adding garbage collection is currently under heavy discussion. Boost.org is a group working to make the most of C++ in its current form. They are expanding C++'s functional and metaprogramming abilities and also advise the C++ standards committee on which features work well and which need improving.
