...for you Ada fellows.  [Do not take me too seriously... :-)]
 While goofling around (fooling around with Google) I found  this
quote _from_a_C++_book_

   "Used without discipline, C++ can lead to code that is
incomprehensible, unmaintainable, inextensible, inefficient, and just
plain wrong." -- Scott Meyers, Effective C++

Hmmm... Why am I experiencing such a cozy feeling? (You know, like
being in front of a fireplace when outside a blizzard is going on? ;-)

By the way, the original source
http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/showpost.php?s=6b345ba1eb5f1cccdc49c7129d015771&p=2683237&postcount=1

has another interesting quote (from a C/C++ programmer, according to
the post)

    "Writing in C is like handing a loaded gun with a hair-trigger to
a kid: more than likely, it's going to go off and hurt you. Writing in
C++ is like handing a hand grenade with the pin already pulled to a
kid: without a doubt, it's going to go off and hurt a lot of people."
