Love that observation on C++. That's the reason I love C++. It's a language for those who need, nay crave, absolute raw performance. No training wheels. Short of assembly, it's just as close to the machine as you can get.

    C++ has many things, but expressive power is not one of them. But Stockholm syndrome I guess. :P
