no i didn't say that. i believe c++ is a collosal disaster;
even back in '84. programs that ran wouldn't even _compile_
the next day and believe the story is that those who were
trying it gave up in disjust. that was when it was small.
this is hearsay, but from a realiable source.
if you want write bad programs c++ and java give you a quantum leap.
on the other hand i'd love to see limbo on it. maybe it is?
