As the standard for the next version of C++ gets closer to being finalised, more details are emerging. In October was the Kona meeting for the C++ committee and you can read about it from Herb Sutter on this post.
Lots of good stuff has been voted in like nullptr, explicit conversion operators, atomic types, and a threading library. It's certainly a slow process but the improvements should all be pretty good, although not everyone is a fan of C++, but hey, I like it.
