That's schoolar sighted. In the reality, coding clean object-oriented software is *hard*: with
object-oriented semantic hardwired directly into the syntax, coders tend to produce a kind of
"object-orientish" mixture, just for the sake to be "object-oriented".
That's from the code I read and my experience.
BTW, if you dislike the STL... have a look at the boost lib... gnash uses it...

Um, I *like* the STL. I dislike its *syntax*. I can't even tell if you
consider Boost better than the STL, or worse...
(Anyway, it's plain to me that you're not reading anything here clearly,
so I'll stop trying to talk to you.)
