Two LSS talks

Embedded C++ is very strange creature because it removes one of the most important advantages of C++: namespaces. Thing like a namespace is more-or-less required to manage large programs and Embedded C++ forced the same fourty years old substitute (prefixes and/or suffixes).

Frankly I don't see a point. It's not really compatible with C++, but it's not compatible with C either. It includes not usable rounded-up set features but bunch of easily implementable features instead. In short: it's something designed to brag about, not something designed with real work in mind. Very similar to LSB: both in idea and in implementation. Only LSB has slowly started to acquire useful features recently, while EC++ just died.
