NewsStroustrup on next-gen C++: I didn't want to let go of my baby Pin

C++ 11 is “far better than previous versions”, says the inventor of the language Bjarne Stroustrup.... C++ is an ISO standard, first ratified in 1998 with C++ 11 completed in 2011, but Stroustrup revealed he was initially resistant to standardisation efforts. “It took some arm-twisting to get me to realise that it was time to start a standards effort," he said. "People pointed out that you couldn’t have a language used by millions controlled by a single guy in a single company. Even if you could trust the guy, you can’t trust the corporation. I was a bit sad, because the things I wanted to do would take years instead of months, because you have to build up consensus, and then you have to wait for five compilers to catch up."
If you want something that is really widely used, you need some kind of standard.
