"Sometimes this means writing out a loop instead of invoking an obscure function." I can't help but think this is specifically a dig in C++'s direction. Since C++11 lambda's I've been using <algorithm> a lot more and I don't think you could get me to go back at this point... Yes I had to learn exactly what a few methods do, but now I have beautiful straight line code...
