I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries.
First, I'd like to see the basic tools such as compilers, debuggers, profilers, database interfaces, GUI builders, CAD tools, and so forth fully support the ISO standard.
Anybody who comes to you and says he has a perfect language is either naive or a salesman.
Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.
A program that has not been tested does not work.
Some software is actually pretty good, by any standard. Think of the Mars Rovers, Google, and the Human Genome Project. Now, that's quality software!
