In terms of C++0x features, what is the current state of lambda support as I have seen several papers from Bjarne, et. al.?
I don't think being the fourth of five authors on one lambda proposal counts as "Bjarne et. al." :) The driving forces behind lambdas for C++0x are Jeremiah Willcock, Jaakko Jarvi, and Valentin Samko. The lambda proposals are still in an early state of development and will take a couple months to mature. There are many unanswered questions about the scope of lambdas (how much can/should they express?), various design features (polymorphic vs. monomorphic, how to handle references to local variables), etc. I have no doubt the authors will spiral in on the right solution, but they could certainly use more feedback.
