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?

I think you are a troll here. I don't
care what they think of you on some other
group I do not read.

http://physci.org/ eh? Looks like a spam site.

Please trim sigs. from replies in future.

Not when it is quoted by someone else (even
a troll), or in a sig., as I had it.

..watch for the sig.

Yes, we wouldn't want you to profit monetarily from your SPAMMING this
newsgroup with inane comments.

You think I'm a troll, eh? Paranoia like yours could be a sign of
mental illness.
