Holy crap, what has C++ become?

[plenty900]

I was looking over someone's C++ code today and despite
having written perfectly readable C++ code myself,
the stuff I was looking at was worse than legalese.
The people who are guiding the development of C++
have really made a mess of things, I mean templates
and competing libraries and all that just render the
code impossible to comprehend. Sure there is
going to be a certain amount of complexity,
that's a given, but if code is not readable except by
a kind of clergy then there is something wrong with
the language.

A. You're in a Java forum. Please post this to a C++ forum.
B. You don't have to understand the language to use it.
C. You're trolling. If you don't like the language, go offer your
input to the C++ developers.

Actually, I was thinking about it a little bit, and the other thing
is...

While your code may be readable, other people write some *really*
crappy code. So, it may not be the language that's the problem. It
may be the developer. And that doesn't matter whether it's C++, Java,
Python or whatever.

...maybe that's what you were going for. Either way, as I said
previously, if you have a problem (even even better, if you have a
solution) specifically with C++, the C++ forums are where you want to
go to get help and provide input.

You mean if I post such an attitude in the C++
forums I won't be taken as a troll?

Buchanan: "The War Party may have gotten its war," he writes.
"... In a rare moment in U.S. journalism, Tim Russert put
this question directly to Richard Perle [of PNAC]:

'Can you assure American viewers ...
that we're in this situation against Saddam Hussein
and his removal for American security interests?
And what would be the link in terms of Israel?'

Buchanan: "We charge that a cabal of polemicists and
public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series
of wars that are not in America's interests. We charge
them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars
and destroy the Oslo Accords."

"Here in the United States, the Zionists and their co-religionists
have complete control of our government.

For many reasons, too many and too complex to go into here at this
time, the Zionists and their co-religionists rule these
United States as though they were the absolute monarchs
of this country.

Now you may say that is a very broad statement,
but let me show you what happened while we were all asleep..."

--- Benjamin H. Freedman

[Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing
individuals of the 20th century. Born in 1890, he was a successful
Jewish businessman of New York City at one time principal owner
of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry
after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the
remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his
considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the
Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States.]
