Oh, that's scary. Though I have in effect managed some development projects, I'm very much not trained in people management! ;-) > 2.

Yes, the devil is in the details -- that's why I only have well informed opinions about C++ and can do no more than read it. C++ in particular has so many niggling yucky details that it's a real devil of a language to try to learn to write in effectively. I've read so much bad C++ code (and so little good C++ code) that I can't dare even try to predict how many people might know those details well enough to write good C++ code. In fact I only know of one person for sure who does know the details well enough (but I'm not sure he's such a good programmer overall). -- Greg A.
