>Please don't bother us old guys with comp-sci fundamentals No shit, I have been programming C++ for 20 years. Recently someone stuck in a room with a laptop, not connected to internet, and asked me to format C strings to use in a printf (for a C++ job), something I haven't done in 20 years. Maybe it's my fault for abstracting all of the ugliness away with the use of libraries and C++ functions. I could have told them when to use such silliness. Which is when you need to have something that is really performant, that gets called a LOT. After writing game engines, most other performance requirements are trivial.
