Comment on C++98 Support Costs Extra (or why we should switch to C++11 now)

Comments

Our company's been C++0x-heavy since the first bits rolled out in GCC. We're lucky enough not to have any legacy, so we can afford this.

The other day I was stuck on a system with only a C++ (03) compiler, and it was a truly crippling experience without lambdas and the new STL.

Anecdotes aren't worth much, sure, but I find it difficult to disagree with this article.
