One day we can write C++ code like this?

void someFunc()
{
  for(size_t i = 0; i < nodes.size(); i++)   std::shared_ptr<Image> img = Image::load("test.png");
  {                                          std::shared_ptr<Sound> snd = Sound::load("bang.ogg");
    nodes.at(i)->process();                  std::shared_ptr<Model> mdl = Model::load("player.obj");
  }

  tick();                                    display();
}

... whilst being implicitly thread safe....

I have no idea how this is going to turn out on these forums
