I am proud in saying so.. Until I started programming in C++ I did not understand the true capabilities of this language. I am not going to list out the differences between C++ and other languages here. Many have done that. But I was happy to read an interview that Bjarne Stroustrup had given to Computer World. I read through todays Slashdot article. If you have not already read this, please click the link above. Otherwise, this post is to really bookmark this interview in my blog.

A quote from his answers that I really liked.. "By themselves, language features are sterile and boring; to be useful, programmers have to learn how language features can be used in combination to serve some ideal of programming, such as object-oriented programming and generic programming."

Three cheers to all C++ programmers out there.
