In such as scenario, writing code that runs with different OS-compiler combinations while leveraging the cool features such as concepts, lambda expressions and closures, variadic templates and unicode is going to be difficult in the short term. Of course, if a project sticks to a single compiler, then it won't be much of an issue.
Nowhere near the power offered by LISP, but huge leap of convenience while writing in C++

There was a formatting problem with my previous comment. The statement "Nowhere near the power offered by LISP, but huge leap of convenience while writing in C++" was a footnote for "lambda expressions and closures." The asterisk got eaten when I posted the comment, :(
