... by which I don't mean to imply that I can't understand it (although, with C++, there is always the possibility that I _think_ I can understand it but am sadly mistaken because of some weird shit happening behind the scenes). I just mean that I can't simply read it. This may be one really serious advantage for the everything-in-C types -- a competent C programmer can understand any C, whereas C++ is big enough to have many different "schools of C++" which are mutually unintelligible without further study. That's also the seed of its popularity, I suppose -- everyone can write the way they like in it, and if you can't work out how to do it properly, you can always drop back into C.
