Herb Sutter on Heterosexual Computing

Looks like Microsoft is tired of HomogenousHomosexual Computing (ie. Apple/Macs) and paints a possible future of mainstream HeterogenousHeterosexual Computing.

It's a bit Microsoft biased, made me cringe a bit in a few spots, but the bulk of the talk is rather interesting. Herb Sutter used to be the chairperson of the ISO/IEC C and C++ language committees, by the way. I wonder how the Linux kernel will adapt to heterogeneous computing? We already have OpenCL, but the kernel isn't using it itself--is there any application for this kind of stuff inside of a kernel?

I was a bit skeptical at first, but towards the end, when he mentioned that they're making C++ AMP an open, royalty-free ISO standard and that the core ISO C++ specification would evolve along with it, I started getting pumped. I just hope it doesn't end up like .NET, where even though it was standardized, there were a bunch of things, especially in the library that are Windows/Microsoft specific.

I also specifically liked when he mentioned using restrict(pure) to instruct the compiler to ensure that attributed functions don't have side-effects. If something like that makes it into the next C++ or even C language standards, we will have come full circle where imperative languages really have merged with functional languages.

At that point, who needs Lisp?
