That sounds pretty unhappy. C++ is bad enough but templates are scattered
enough to be a pain in the ass last time I looked, which was when I gave STL
a try.

I haven't seen any C++ tools yet that had memory management that was
industrial strength performance. Is anyone familiar enough with Blitz++ and
advanced VM to know whether they knew which way was up when they wrote it?
