In this talk Herb Sutter mentioned that it would be an open standard so that
other compilers can also implement it.
And although he didn't go into details, he also mentioned AMD is already
working on providing implementation for other platforms. I assume it means
OpenCL and/or non Windows

I don't have link right now but amd's developer website has links to that
key note. It was pretty interesting.
