Yeah, but I don't have it and hoped you would give me some juicy
quotes :).
Quite a few C++ design decisions came from the requirement to
fit 1:1 with C toolchains.
Isn't it funny (or sad) though how the IT sector keeps being
bogged down by clogged backwards compatibility issues going all
the way back to the 60s and 70s?
Now we need to wait for C++17, or do some marketing that D has
them today. :)
Hm, yes.
