Bjarne talks about C++ along with some extensions to the libraries that he thinks should be standardized. Also comments on the C99 standards that introduce some incompatibilities between C and C++.
Just a comment, but I don't think Bjarne should hold up Netscape as a poster child. The original Navigator code got to such a state of rot that almost nothing in it was salvageable - hence the mammoth effort to basically rewrite it from scratch. Perhaps not really a language choice issue, but then it's also not a particularly good example of reuseable software design either.
