This reiterates some of my feelings about C\C++:

Now when is that multithreading support going to be added? :)

Interesting, but why-oh-why is that pdf file so huge? Cuz most of the screens are images instead of fonts?

Weird.

I just got off the phone with mark, apperently v1.26 with multi-threading will be relased one week after Duke Nuke Em Forever.


So anytime now.

The most interesting thing to me what the part on "lenient evaluation". Having an alternative between eager evaluation and lazy evaluation seems very promising.
I wonder what he will come up with.

Seemed more like an endorsement for Haskell to me. Well Bjarne Stroustrup came up with C++ because he wanted features of Simula in C. I guess mixing in a little Haskell can only be considered a good thing.
