The complexity of C++ (even more complexity has been added in the new C++), and the resulting impact on productivity, is no longer justified. All the hoops that the C++ programmer had to jump through in order to use a C-compatible language make no sense anymore - they're just a waste of time and effort. Now, Go makes much more sense for the class of problems that C++ was originally intended to solve.

If you are walking with Jesus, in the Spirit, you need not fear going too far. No believer has gone as far as God wants him to go
Find a need and fill it. Successful businesses are founded on the needs of people.
I cannot bear not to know the end of a tale. I will read the most trivial things â€“ once commenced â€“ only out of a feverish greed to be able to swallow the ending â€“ sweet or sour â€“ and to be done with what I need never have embarked on.
