Too bad, in my opinion.

There's lots of more stable (as in, not changing) options out there if that's your thing. Perfection isn't going to be achieved through a standard ;-)

    Well, I'm all for "change" if it's ... "stable" :)

    Meaning, I don't fear "change" if it's consistent across platforms/programs, etc. and if it makes sense. But that's not the reason I mentioned the "standards body".

    Anyway, I hope you will elaborate on the alternatives. I'm really curious.

      Obviously C & C++ (well, mostly). There are also a great deal of languages that stick to a consistant approach. Java and Python come to mind, they do change, but in a predictable manner that in my experience causes minimum problems.
