What sort of cover art should we use for the book?
How about a snow-capped mountain peak? You know, the kind of mountain peak where people die either for lack of oxygen, or because crevasses open randomly across the landscape. The kind of mountain where you might go blind if you take off your sunglasses.
That kind of place.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoAt least it's the sort of mountain peak where you can initialize user data types with {} and use closures like every other language in existence. It's a much better peak than it was three years ago.

- pootch 13y agoI was thinking more like a picture of a saint bernard taking a dump
- n00b101 13y agoHow about a picture of an F35 fighter jet? Because a fighter jet goes much faster than [insert your preferred hipster language]? Or, you know, the F35 uses C++ code (and not Python/Clojure/LISP/PHP/Ruby/whatever).

- rbehrends 13y agoThe F-35 is about embedded software, i.e. it's about C/C++ vs. Ada, not C/C++ vs. Python. The reason they didn't go with Ada was a lack of programmers, not language design issues, as I recall. In any event, I don't think the F-35 with its numerous software-related problems [1, 2] is a good advertisement for C++.

- _mpf 13y agoA few people can reach the top of that moutain on the cover art ;-P
- ysangkok 13y agoWhich mountain is it?
- _mpf 13y agoI`m pretty sure that it is the Mount Fisht (Russian: Фишт) - "it is a peak located in the western Caucasus mountains, in Adygea, Russia" :P Photo on the cover is reversed: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-76471816/stock-photo-snowbound-mountain-top.html?src=ylOqjgEwM0mxZbSAJ7AjJw-1-20 http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-76471816/stock-photo-snowbou...

- michaelochurch 13y agoDammit, man, you're making C++ sound fun. Well, it probably is in the right context, but you know what I mean. :: Clicked the link. RTFA fairy told me to. :: Oh, that is the actual cover art.
