    @h A real pity we lost Erik Naggum.
    "I believe C++ instills fear in programmers, fear that the interaction of some details causes unpredictable results. Its unmanageable complexity has spawned more fear-preventing tools than any other language, but the solution should have been to create and use a language that does not overload the whole goddamn human brain with irrelevant details."

    "I may be biased, but I tend to find a much lower tendency among female programmers to be dishonest about their skills, and thus do not say they know C++ when they are smart enough to realize that that would be a lie for all but perhaps 5 people on this planet."

    @vertigo @h Yeh, templates were kind of the final straw for me. The angle brackets look even more like bat barf than perl. I drank the kool aid early and "used" C++ from the early 1990s when there was no Slashdot and I got my pearls of wisdom from comp.lang.c++ . After compiler diagnostics didn't get any better after eons, and I had to read, digest and internally memorize all of Scott Meyers' excellent C++ wisdom just to avoid shooting myself in the foot, and having used "real" object oriented languages (not just a kludgy approximation) I realized I had better things to do in life.

    @h I feel your pain as a LISPer. Superior languages don't get sufficient traction and fall by the wayside as the next shiny thing comes along. Fashion I guess. Nowadays I'm using python - not that I like it much.

    @h Should be "FreePascal". One thing Pascal had going for it was that it was easy to bootstrap - just write a P-code interpreter

    @h Yup, Delphi was cool. If you want to go the open source route, a friend programs in Object Pascal and swears by it. Instead, however, we have a world of C++, Javascript and PHP. "Worse is better"...

    @h Don't get me started - C++ should have been tied up in a cloth sack and thrown into the sea long ago.

    @h At the same time as Turbo C 2.01 there was Turbo Pascal 5.5 - far more advanced in terms of language features (OOP!) and quicker compiles to boot. http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20803

    Current personal boycotts:
    Google, Microsoft (except for Word docs for clients), Amazon (as much as practical), Adobe, Uber, Nestlé. If I think a company is unethical I try to avoid it as far as practical. Maybe it doesn't achieve much but I exercise my personal freedom. YMMV.

    Like detective TV series and novels but why does watching Inspector Morse leave me feeling mildly depressed? (Just got the 33 episode box set.) The theme tune being in a minor key can't be totally responsible.

    @bob @jumpedupchuck Is there a word for looking while making a gesture of the thing you're looking for (e.g. scissors)?
