No, but pretty funny. And a lot of the comments are fairly accurate regarding some of the code I've been asked to maintain over the years. I like C++, but the range of programming techniques it supports doesn't make it the ideal language for poorly managed teams, or teams of unskilled programmers--both of which are quite common.

It's just a joke, don't be afraid. :) PS: Somebody will have to put an after comment to that interview, telling it's just a fake or we'll see many programmers killing themselves in the next days. I would commit suicide if that article were true :P Tom

I know :-P I'm not afraid, but I never really thought 'what if' the language was designed to be deceptive. Now every time I go to C++, I'll have to wonder about it.
