As for C++, I was on the standards committee for eight years so I know C++ is a lot more complex than C. I was peripherally involved with the C standards process before that (I co-wrote one of the first ANSI-validated C implementations). > Not meaning to start a language war, but my own experiences with C++ and > Java have mostly convinced me that the added complexity in those languages > don't lead to better code: quite the opposite. Happy to agree with you there. I look back at several things I was involved with in the design of C++ and hang my head in shame, a little :) > So far it's all been good, except for when I have to muck with java stuff. > ;) > Cool.
