- badman_ting 13y agoSapir-Whorf is a claim about the effect a language has on the cognition of those who speak it. i.e., the claim is about the cognition and not the language. The C++ statement was just a silly reason (IMO) for why C++ is a better tool than other languages for expressing to a computer what a person is thinking.
