Which features are you particularly eager to use? I'm on the fence as to whether C++14 support should be turned on in 58 or wait until 59. The canonical feature vs. compiler matrix lives at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_CXX_in_Mozilla_code Once C++14 support gets turned on, we'll be able to use everything supported by GCC 4.9 in cross-platform code. Upgrading our Linux requirements to GCC 6 or better (and MSVC to 2017) would be required before getting to use shinier features.
