Although readability is boosted I still find it takes years/months to make a
complex
project that does anything worthwhile in Pascal - or any language. And many C++
programmers are genius types - who could care less if the language is slightly
more messy,
because they have enough genius in them to understand it anyway. So it ends up
being that
a C++ program is just as easy to maintain if you are genius. I'm not a genius
and don't
want to exercise a brain part that I don't have to - so I use a more readable
language.
