  They laughed at Einstein, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown. Yes, every popular language has critics, but that doesn't mean they're always wrong.

    Bozo's theory of unified whoopie is closer to being proved correct every day! He will be vindicated eventually.

    But PHP & C++ get more complaining than the others, at least where I hang out. So good quote by Stroustrup.

        Yes, that was the point of the original quotation.
