Merely posting you some meaningful reference points, as I take it by
your adjectives you're more from the C++ end of the spectrum.

The day that scientists, engineers, programmers and artists start
talking to one another, instead of constructing vast impenetrable
fortresses to hide behind, is one I _greatly_ look forward to. Where
such rampant self-serving cliquery and deeply reactionary
conservativism sprung from I don't know, but I do wish it'd hurry up
and bog off again. Poor Leonardo must be spinning in his grave. :(
