Very cool... it'll be interesting to hear Tom give a talk on the new C++0x (C++11 I mean) features one day. I've used the Boost library extensively at my previous job and I know a lot of the ideas are borrowed from there, but I haven't quite delved into the gcc TR1 libraries to get a taste of the 0x features.
@Larry re: Tom Plum
Very interesting! I didn't know about Tom and his work on C++ and C#. Anders Hejlsberg has always been my favorite language designer. I hope I get a chance to chat with Tom about his language work the next time he makes it to Oahu.
Speaking of C++0x, Tom Plum of Kamuela on the Big Island is one of members of both the C and C++ language standards community and Kona regularly plays host to all the big players in the community -- Bjarne Stroustrup, Herb Sutter, P.J. Plauger, Andy Koenig, etc. Tom's also a member of the C# and CLR ECMA standards committees, which bring in such luminaries as Anders Hjelsberg, Miguel de Icaza, etc.
If you're interested in the programming languages community, Hawaii is one of the places to be!

I heard John is going to work on one... but it could just be a rumor :)
Its funny how cyclic things are in the software field. Compiled languages are the only real languages...10 years pass...compiled languages are for old farts...10 years pass...compiled languages are hip, especially if they look like scripted languages...
The same thing happens with programming paradigms like OO, AOP, LOP / DSL, functional, etc.
On a related note, I just created a group for those interested in Go.
