Hi list, @Heilo C++ 11 isn't particularly new and the whole point of it is to reduce code complexity, improve readability and generally to aid developers. I think we should ask the question the other way around; Is there any reason why not to use it? Are there any major recent Linux/BSD distros that don't have a recent compiler? (as an Arch user I have no idea about what gcc Debian is on for example) Are we targeting legacy systems? Is there any other reason I might have missed? If we can answer these questions, then we can answer wether we can use C+11. I know some people are just conservative and that is why they don't want to make the switch, but I personally would prefer C++11, although it isn't the end of the world if I had to stick to C++98 or C++03.
@ ..ink.. Lambda is the single best feature, but if you allow lambdas then you also need to allow auto. You also missed a few quite important features: std::move and RVO which both could result in a speed boost.
