- "Hmmm ... a professor at mine is one of the fine fellows who developed
- the standard template library. That right there would lead me to
- believe that he "understands" C++ by your estimation. He also seems
- to recognize the features of exceptions, namespaces, etc. Yet, he
- has been talking in class the past several classes about Ada95's
- advantages over C++. So, it would seem that not everyone who says
- that Ada95 is better then C++ simply "doesn't understand C++" ...."
-
- No one ever said that this applied to "everyone", my original remark
- was that it was remarkable how many people made pronouncements about
- C++ without knowing much about it, and that particularly people who
- lumpied C and C++ together as though they were one language were likely
- in that category.
-
- I am sure your professor does not think that C and C++ are the same
- language :-)
