Bjarne Stroustrup is well-known for his amusing comments on C++.  Here
is another one that Bjarne told me, although he didn't invent it:

	"C++ is the C of object-oriented programming languages."

Well worth a chuckle.  If you think twice about it, I think it
captures much of what is good and bad about C++.

Does anyone know a similar one about Ada?
