Feel free to use it at $work; when developing commercial self-contained and self-sufficient, not-to-be-recompiled, etc. software. Doing things in open-source? then stay away from c++11 and above, do the world a favor. Dmitry, C++ sucks; we might not have anything better than it right now, but it does not change the fact that it's a horrible language to "get it right", and endless compatibility issues virtually *everyone* is having with it speak for itself. So no, C++11 should *not* be absolutely used now; not in ported software that is supposed to be built and run across several versions of FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Windows, Haiku, etc. ./danfe
