The most fundamental problem in software development is complexity. There is only one basic way of dealing with complexity: divide and conquer

I find languages that support just one programming paradigm constraining

It is my firm belief that all successful languages are grown and not merely designed from first principles

The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off.

Any verbose and tedious solution is error-prone because programmers get bored.

Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.
