I remember having had longish slashdot flamewar about it, see also http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen/public/ramblings/stroustrup I think that it is too large, too complex, and carries to much historical baggage that sacrifices correctness for speed. Also it lacks a lot of features that I consider necessary for comfortable programming, like garbage collection, reflection and built-in strings, lists, dictionaries, vectors, and first-class functions. If I have made a resolution for myself that I will learn Objective Caml for my next large project (if there will ever be one). -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
