Clang has already started to implement them.
They are still experimental and who knows if the standard will ever get
them.
The last time I did a 100% fully new C++ project was back in 2005. Since
then I have replaced quite a few "legacy" C++ applications by JVM/.NET
based solutions.
Will modules be part of C++17?
Will anyone care about C++17 or will it be like ISO Extended Pascal or
COBOL 2002? Standards that no one cares to implement.
It is 5 years until 2017, now look back at the IT industry for the past
5 years and imagine a similar set of changes.
