C++ is my favorite garbage collected language because it generates so little garbage
To many managers, getting rid of the arrogant, undisciplined, over-paid, technology-obsessed, improperly-dressed etc. programmers would appear to be a significant added benefit
If you think it's simple, then you have misunderstood the problem.
Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only knew one language.
Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.
Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.
