Maybe I’ll be boring with this note, but again I need to write that this was another good year for C++! Here’s a bunch of facts:

• Visual Studio 2015 was released with great support for C++14/17 and even more experimental features.
• Long-awaited GCC 5.0 was released at the beginning of the year.
• C++ gained a huge boost is popularity around July, 3rd stable place in the Tiobe Ranking.
• At CppCon 2015 there were some really important announcements made.
• C++17 seems to be just around the corner!
