C++ is fool's gold. Its complexity is inefficient and this gives the sensation of power and accomplishment, when all we have done is waste energy on translating abstract thought into a fragile foam of symbols. Then finally there is a sad degree of orthogonality between the meaning and structure of said foam and our original thought. But it sure feels like we did something. We slaid that dragon good eh!
