This seems silly. Provides no benefit and is confusing. Bourne shell comes to mind. I was going to blog about it and say it has no benefit anyway and is confusing to boot, but I thought I'd see what you lot think before I go out on a limb :)

I think it's silly.  Interfaces allow an object in OOP languages as if they are derived from multiple base classes.  C++ already supports multiple base classes, and so there's really no need to do that.

They are trying their very hardest to turn C++ into VB

It's just a rip off of MFC type macros. For example MFC has BEGIN_INTERFACE END_INTERFACE COM IUnknown/IDispatch wrappers.

Also it's superflous because COM/CORBA already implements language independent objects/interfaces.

Yeah, but I don't think they're going for language-independence here.  They're just trying to introduce a feature that already exists, with syntax familiar to Java pros.
