At the end of the story, it may be that the committee can never do enough because languages like Java have libraries that are so extensive and so deeply funded that C++ can never compete with volunteer labor.
The major problem IMO is that the "volunteer labor" inevitably prefers development for fun to commercially-justified development. This drives inovation, but hurts competition. Where are sockets, database access, etc.?
Well, I suppose. In the cases you mention, I think these are just harder problems. These are hard enough that it's best to have a group and groups are harder than single programmers. That said, these are in the pipeline :-) http://asio.sourceforge.net/ http://soci.sourceforge.net/ Jeff
