Lot of sober talk, I must say. Now it's my favorite #2 (after Glenn Reid's 'www.xmlsucks.com'). Respect!

C++ doesn't help in this area, it hurts. Code re-use in C++ is also a problem. Reusing entire libraryies is fine (in both C and C++) but using less than entire libraries, (e.g. cutting and pasting hunks of code from one program into another) C wins. C++ code tends to be tightly integrated with class definitions, which almost invariable depend on other class definitions, and when you try to reuse the code you find yourself either hauling in a whole network of inextricalbe classes and header files, or else just viewing the code as psuedo code, and rewriting it with the code as a guideline. C++ adds a layer of complexity on top of the complexity already intrinsically present in the problem you're trying to solve. Sometimes, if things map well this can be worth it, resulting in a nice interface. Too often, it's just a layer of needless, utterly invented complexity, on top of the intrinsic complexity of the problem. On top of all this, C++ is immature. The STL and Boost libraries are constantly changing (still!) and if you have to support old OSes, etc. Good luck with getting all your compilers to agree. And that, C++, that is just freakin' bush league. Get your act together, C++. More often than not, I've so far found C++ to be the cause of more trouble than it saves.

Poate am avea nevoie de mai multi domni Dinescu sa ne mai faca cite un dus satiric din cind in cind, sa mai prindem curaj si sa mai si traim un pic.

Zis-a vântul: Aripile lor Mă doboară nevăzute-n zbor. Întrebat-am luminata ciocârlie, Candelă ce legănă-n tărie Untdelemnul cântecului sfânt: Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ? Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ? Zis-a ciocârlia: S-au ascuns În lumina Celui Nepătruns. Întrebat-am bufniţa cu ochiul sferic, Oarba care vede-n întuneric Taine necuprinse de cuvânt: Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ? Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ?

Întrebat-am vântul, zburătorul
Bidiviu pe care-aleargă norul
Către-albastre margini de pământ:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ?

Zis-a vântul: Aripile lor
Mă doboară nevăzute-n zbor.

Întrebat-am luminata ciocârlie,
Candelă ce legănă-n tărie
Untdelemnul cântecului sfânt:
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ?
Unde sunt cei care nu mai sunt ?

Zis-a ciocârlia: S-au ascuns
În lumina Celui Nepătruns.

Întrebat-am bufniţa cu ochiul sferic,
Oarba care vede-n întuneric
Taine necuprinse de cuvânt:

Marele-ntuneric, vei vedea.
