Hi everyone! The next meeting of the C++ Standards Committee will be May 4-9 in Lenexa, Kansas.
This is a busy and exciting time for C++, with many major new features being developed, such as concepts, modules, reflection, transactional memory, contracts, coroutines, ranges, a concept-enabled refresh of the standard library, an expanded set of vocabulary types like optional/any/variant, and others. I expect this to be a key meeting, where a picture of which of these features will be ready for the next version of the standard - C++17 - will begin to emerge. If you'd like to know more about the progress of C++ standardization, you can look at the summaries of the past four meetings on my blog (most recent one here [1]). For even more detail, you can look at the list of proposals in front of the committee [2] (the new ones since the last meeting being [3] and [4]). I will be attending this meeting; as usual, I expect to spend most of my time in the Evolution Working Group, where new language features are discussed at the design level. If there's anything you'd like me to find out for you at the meeting, or any feedback you'd like me to communicate, please let me know! Finally, I'd like to reiterate my standing offer to any member of the Mozilla community: if you're interested in submitting a proposal to the committee, please get in touch with me, and I'd be happy to provide you with guidance for writing the proposal, and to present it at a future committee meeting if you're not able to attend one yourself.
