Thanks for the warning. That also means I can't even open that link.

You still have yet to explain *how* this solution addresses the problem. This
is what I am saying that you're jumping from "there's a problem" to "here's a
solution, trust me it works". The "trust me" isn't enough for this forum or
for the standards committee. You'll have to write a rigorous paper explaining
just how it works, how it solves the problem, what the drawbacks are, and how
it's better than other possible solutions or at least why this solution should
be adopted now instead of those others. This forum can help you with that, but
*you* have to start with the evidence and lines of thought.

I"m reading "I haven't proven it works in real life, let alone that it solves
the problem."

Faster than what? What workloads? Under what conditions? Compared to what
other solutions?

No, he wouldn't. I've met him and I have discussed C++ with him. He won't stop
complaining about C++.

That isn't to say he's wrong; he does have some valid points. But he says
isn't gospel. Heck, what Bjarne says isn't gospel either.
