C / C++C / C++Posted Oct 9, 2009 7:19 UTC (Fri) by dwmw2 (subscriber, #2063)In reply to: Cisco becomes a major Linux server vendor overnight (cnet) by qg6te2 Parent article: Cisco becomes a major Linux server vendor overnight (cnet) The trick to writing good C++ programs is not to use most of the features of the language. There are those who say that the best C++ programs are written in C, with a tiny smattering of C++. So I think it makes sense to lump them together.

Stroustrup's _The Design and Evolution of C++_ actually touts that as a
*feature*. I'm not so sure. It sounds nice until you have to look at a project written by someone else...
