- I think someone ought to do some sociological research on this. I can agree
- with people claiming C++ is very complex, but I don't know any other OO
- language, so I cannot say if it is overly complex or not.

- All we can do is to sit down and face the facts: C++ is here to stay and
- we just have to deal with its complexities.

- Someone once said: C++ is the programmers revenge on managers, since C++

- white coats and be payed handsomly.
