Bjarne Stroustrup On Concepts, C++0x

I have a concept I'd like to see in C++: it's called K.I.S.S., or Keep It Simple, Stupid! Stroustrup's magnum opus, The C++ Programming Language, runs to 1030 pages. The K&R classic The C Programming Language runs 274 pages.

Personally, I'm ready to switch to C+-.

'Nuff said.

Danny Kalev has an interview with Bjarne Stroustrup about the failure of concepts, the technical issues of concepts, whether the ISO committee's days are over, and whether C++ is at a dead-end.
