I invite everyone interested in C++ and the power and versatility it
provides to check out Ultimate++ at
http://www.ntllib.org/upp/index.html
Ultimate++ is the new generation C++ Windows/Linux open-source
development platform. By utilizing a couple of new principles
Ultimate++ achieves to singnificantly reduce complexity of
applications and this way the developments costs. Ultimate++ based
application sources tend to be significantly shorter (~50%) than
equivalent applications using any other C++ platforms.

Ultimate++ consists of

Set of cross-platform Windows/Linux libraries ("packages")

TheIDE development environment, featuring

Full featured source editor

Package management system

Visual debugger (using GDB)

BLITZ build technology speeding up GCC builds of large projects up
to 4 times,

Layout designer for designing dialog layouts

Image designer for designing graphical elements of application

Language editor for managing internationalized text strings

Currently it is in it's early stages, but I invite everyone to visit
the site and take a look at the awesome features and capabilities of
this excellent app.

Looks pretty interesting to me, as do the Nonstandard Template
Libraries. The naming makes using it appear very natural.

Though it looks to be true, so much "marketing speak" has turned me
off this kind of sales pitch, so I almost ignored the post.

!! Note: I *didn't* see any links to source code or license, what is
it released under? Who is sponsoring it and doing the development? How
much will it cost?
