- : The C++ Committee has been unanimous (or nearly so) in its acceptance
- : of STL. I do not believe there is any chance it will be dropped.
-
- I don't like STL because it represents an abandonment of one of C++'s
- strengths, the tools for implementing an object oriented design.
-
- STL just isn't OO. It's the creation of algorythms that are not connected
- to the data they act upon. That doesn't make STL inherently wrong, but it
- does seem out of place in light of the number of design decisions made
- to enable OO.
