Re: Language question, a little bit OT
Thanks for the extensive reading list, Michael.
Every programming language I messed around with has taught
me something of value, although I have used almost none for
"serious" programming.
As a consequence, my mind is a junkyard, which is very much
appreciated by my more linear partners :-)
I think I'll put Modern C++ Design on my wishlist.
