I personally find that 'debugging code' that will be executed by much-less-predictable governments and judges to be much more interesting than code to be executed by (relatively reliable) CPU's. Those that are actually excited by C++ should stick to it, and people like myself who prefer (acts-of-parliament-speak)-- will stick to that ;-) By the way, I don't think the "is it the same in Canada" needs an answer, partly because I don't agree with the article. The activism that many "geeks" have been involved in has been much more effective than this article suggested.
