I suggest you abandon C++ and try Python, Java, or Ada. note that for his specific example, we would of course direct him to the relevant portions of the CPython source code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

C++ equivalent of comp.lang.python?
Hopefully this isn't too OT. One thing I like about comp.lang.python is the breadth of topics discussed here. People can ask about Python installation and configuration issues on specific platforms, compare third party libraries, ask for book recommendations, and discuss current Python projects. Lurking here has greatly increased my understanding of Python over the last year or so. I also do a lot of C++ development, but I've never found a similar discussion group for that language. comp.lang.c++ isn't what I'm looking for. I find it hard to get practical advice on that group because its focus is so narrow. I frequently see posters there redirect people to one of the OS-specific C++ groups, but most of my projects are cross-platform, so hanging out on one of those doesn't make sense either. As an example, I was recently trying to get information about writing cross-platform code for dynamic linking, but I couldn't find anywhere appropriate to ask about it. For those of you who work in C++, where do you go to discuss it online? I'm interested in any newsgroups, mailing lists, or web boards you can recommend.
