He never mentioned other languages, so no, I don't think that was his point. I think his point was that C++ makes it hard to make good choices about C++.
I'm saying Java programmers make inappropriate data structure choices about Java programs, and boy do Ruby programmers ever make bad decisions in Ruby.
I got that. Not very nice to say his point was dumb because you wanted to make a different one, though. I think we can all agree that C++ is annoying and leave it at that.

Huh? I was sticking up for C++ (in this one context).
