@Appfyr The copyright on this lecture is 1997. So yes they are quite literally living in the past. However, I disagree with your assertion that the new iteration of C++ is the future. Processors are becoming increasingly parallel and imperative languages like C++ are ill-suited for parallel programming. Soon we'll see a shift toward a more functional style of programming that is better suited for parallelism. Imperative is the present, functional is the future.
@Appfyr I would agree that any claim that imperative or functional programming is generally better or more powerful would be simply untrue. There are however situations in which one paradigm is better suited than the other. The only claim I am making is that the functional style of programming is better suited for parallel architectures. That is why C++ is adding functional features (to assist with parallel programming) and why I'm claiming that functional is the future.
@entropyweb Hey! C is the most efficient language on earth. Twice as faster than C++ and may be 50 times faster than JAVA. We still use C in network programming/Kernel programming.
C++ does the modularization part that's why most Open Source projects use it with a gluing language like Python on the top of it.

your livin in the past guys, c++ is the new language, well
in a few c++0x / c++1 will come out so...
there is nothing you can make with c but not in c++

@entropyweb well, c++ will get in also functional 'methods' in the next generation.
Also imperativ languages arent stronger, better or more powerfull than functional, and vice versa, take a look in wikipedia.

C still rocks in 2010! Its not past people.
