CC... Clippings

"All these features make C++ an ideal language for writing operating systems." -- Bartosz Milewski, on SafeD

"C++ is a horrible language. It’s made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it’s much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C." -- Linus Torvalds

According to Time Magazine's latest edition, Linus Torvalds is officially a hero! Linus is cited in the "Rebels & Leaders" category along with Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev and others. In the article 60 Years of Heroes, Linus Torvlads was selected one of the heroes of the past 60 years -- Softpedia

"Heroes become imbued with virtues we wish on them" -- James Burke, American Connections

"As usual, this being a 1.3.x release, I haven't even compiled this kernel yet. So if it works, you should be doubly impressed." -- Linus Torvalds, announcing kernel 1.3.3 on the linux-kernel mailing list.

"Whereas most people find programming in C++ a chore, most Objective-C programmers find the language to be a joy." -- Steve Jobs and the History of Cocoa
