ISO C++ Standard meeting (Bellevue USA)
On February 24 to March 1 (2008) the ISO C++ Standards committee met in Bellevue, WA USA. These are the approved additions to the standard from that meeting.
Lambda functions and closures
Yes it’s true lambda functions and closures was voted into C++0x. Even if C++ has supported lambda function indirect through function objects, writing code at the point where is being used is much more convenient that writing in somewhere far away. It does also make it much easier to write concurrent code pieces that can be passed around to worker threads.

I failed to make myself understood
I failed to make myself understood. Some times there are things in my head that is so purely what they are, that when I try turning them into words I joust don’t know how. You can’t imagine how hard that is, to have an idea and not be able to share it.
