Does it have the actual standard there, or do you still have to pay $$$ for a copy?

$30 for official. Free for "almost official" [1]. I have no idea what that means. Here's a direct link to the free PDF ("almost official"): http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n333...

Edit: That direct link is actually to a January 2012 version. The link in _stephan's comment is the download page. There's also a Github repo: https://github.com/cplusplus/draft

AFAIK the fact that it is a Standard does not mean it is free (it is not an RFC)...

New huh? That logo made me think we were in 2002.

That logo makes me think of C++.

Yep, looks like a C++ developer built that site.

It's great place, although I'd love to see more content that is not only MS and Visual Studio oriented.

Keep in mind that PHP itself is implemented in C ;)

But seriously, should it matter? I'd be worried if the website was written in C++. It's a good thing that they can recognize that C++ isn't the right tool for the job.

Right tool, right job? I also don't see anything on that website saying "C++ is the right choice for any problem domain".
