The Incomparable Mr Skeet mentions how irksome it is that collection initializers assume that the collection is mutable.
Suppose we defined an "immutable-yet-initializable collection" as any type that supports this interface
Updated 2011-10-31 – Major update based on boost range adaptors!!
C++ has long had some functional-styled things in its standard library, in particular a header file called <functional>. But actually using it in a functional way has been painful, largely due to the lack of lambdas.
But C++0x (very good Wikipedia page, by the way) solves this, amongst many other long-standing problems.
With lambdas in place, the next thing I naturally wonder is: what about a complete system of lazy-evaluated list processing, which is to say: what about Linq to Objects in C++?
