Given that the entire C++ standards committee will be at ACCU 2013, I've decided to do a lightning talk on why D and Go are better tools for any native coding problem than C++.

	pigeon[500] pigeons;
	pigeons[random(500)] = new cat;

That is great. Just remember your audience, they will be looking for what C++ can get out of it. You'll want to keep them happy so they don't disregard everything (not that they are the type to do so, someone will be)
