This post by Herb Sutter on his blog says it all.

C++0x is really shaping up with lots of new interesting features ;)

About Herb's teaser in his post. I wonder if he used gcc for his tests... That would be fun. And still, not that inconceivable ;)

The use of the lambda expressions to pass code around to another thread is really interesting. I really like the active object pattern, but this is surely a great way of distributing work around.

I would like to share this interview to Bjarne on Dr Dobbs with you.
It is worth reading, at least for the part about what will be going into C++0x and what will be deferred to the next language revision.

Quoting Bjarne:

• Libraries
• Threads
• Regular expressions
• Hash tables
• Smart pointers
• Many improvements for containers
• Quite a bit support for new libraries
• Language
• A memory model supporting modern machine architectures
• Thread local storage
• Atomic types
• Rvalue references
• Static assertions
• Template aliases
• Variadic templates
• Strongly typed enums
• constexpr: Generalized constant expressions
• Control of alignment
• Delegating constructors
• Inheriting constructors
• auto: Deducing variable types from initializers
• Control of defaults
• nullptr: A name for the null pointer
• initializer lists and uniform initialization syntax and semantics
• concepts (a type system for template arguments)
• a range-based for loop
• raw string literals
• UTF8 literals
• Lambda functions
