C++ joke post --troll like style

[puzzlecracker]

I recently posted following opinion and came to rather starling
realization that I actually believe in most of the said, even though
initially it was a joking retort to Oberon. It would be intriguing to
see what other c++ practitioners think about this controversial issue.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
C'mon people- embrace the reality. Oberon is the next language to
become obsolete with the record of minimum time used in professionally.
The very inception and aims of the language had not fulfilled its
prophesies, nor solved any real-world problems. Its lack of
inheritance, dynamic memory, templates virtual tables, polymorphism,
support for distributive and internet programming as well as scripting,
pattern matching and nonexistent support for regular expression, makes
it a soar thumb in the world of programming and among powerhouses. I
don't want to brag about the past, present and future of C++, for it's
in fact well-known and quite anticipated. I strongly encourage those
neophytes dwelling in world of surrealism to wake up, disengage the
spirit of devil Oberon and join the camp of the world bravest,
toughest, serving - C++ developers. Did you know that world's total C++
developers outnumber the entire population of Brazil? We are
comparable to a religion whose prophesies are always fulfilled and
exalted.

rules,


ps. I should start writing bi-weekly articles on philosophy of C++ -
its myths and legends.

any suggestions?

I am a "C++ practitioner" and have absolutely no opinion on Oberon.
I do find retorts of that kind offensive, though. Even if it is
wrapped in a joke. But I couldn't care less to discuss it further.

Yes ...

1. You should gain a greater command of the English language.
2. Forget Oberon, etc. Who programs in Oberon, anyway?
3. Try to stay OT.
