Why call it “Orthodox”? Opposite of “modern?” Maybe what we really need is “Catholic C++.”

- hot_gril 2y agoMiaphysite C++.
- jjmarr 2y agoC++ has only one paradigm that is functional and object-oriented.

- pyuser583 2y agoOne of my professors was an Amish mathematician. Had a Ph. D from MIT. Actual Amish. Lived on an Amish community near the university. He never used computers. Always brought a ruler, compass, and protractor to class, which was cool. Forced us to read Euclid in the original Greek, which was slightly less cool.
- owenpalmer 2y agoSounds like a legendary person. Do you think he would have used a computer if it was purely mechanical and driven by 1,000 hamsters? (serious question)
- pyuser583 2y agoNo. He was Amish, and had the Amish respect for his tools. The tools were compass, ruler, and protractor. He started off as a carpenter, but was a mathematical prodigy. He still saw himself as a carpenter.
