- It is 4 years time until 2017, plus the time compilers will need to adopt it, how relevant in the industry would that standard still be?
This argument is not much valid anymore. Most language or library features are implemented for testing before a proposal is voted in (because of previous fisaco) C++14 draft is fully supported in Clang at this time, and is even modified real time from votes happening this week.
I mean, except if you work with Visual Studio, compiler adoption is not really that long now.
The only real barrier is company policy. Now I don't want to work on a company that impose artificial limitations on improvements
(other than time obviously).
