C++ requires the use of a complex series of corkscrews to open the bottle. In recent years, various tools have been created to make the opening procedure easier and more standardized. These tools, require either reconfiguration for each individual bottle, or extensive training in customization of the arcane facets of the corkscrew.

The main effect is that many potential imbibers become frustrated at the barriers to Chateau C++, and the power therein, and opt for a different vintage: Pinot Perl, Shellpagne, or a cup of Java. The saddest of these can be found slumped in an alley behind a PDP 11 guzzling a 40 of Olde Fortran Malt Liquor.

Some tipplers attempt a long route to make the corkscrew learning curve easier. They become connissers of other wines in the hope that when they at last turn to C++, they will have the experience to make C++ go down easier. They are inevitably frustrated, as they have used a bottle-opening model that is silky and robust. When they begin pulling at the C++ bottle, they will be heard to slur "It doesn't have to be this hard!" before reaching for a glass of one of their old favorites in an attempt to get drunk before closing time.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
