  14. "But if you take into account these implications and try to avoid them,
  15. you become a hacker."

  19. Probably there was a :-) missing, but if the above was serious, I stronl
  20. strongly disagree. All programmers should understand the consequences
  21. of the code they write. I certainly agree that both in Ada 95 and
  22. in C++, programmers use finalization (destructors) with great abandon
  23. without the least bit idea of the overhead being introduced.
