I don't know what John Carmacks definition of 'restrained c++' is but this might interest you - http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tom/c++example/ http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tom/c++example/ "...a 25 page document outlining the most important aspects of C++ and steering you around those aspects of the language that would need to read an 800 page manual to understand." Edit: Found this from John Carmack. Mostly c++ convention stuff. ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/source/CodeStyleConventions.doc
