C++ over Elixir cracks me up. I feel like no matter how hard you try, no one really “””knows””” C++ (given library vastness and all that).

C++ over Go, Scala over Clojure? C and C++ are of the same complexity?
C and C++ have the same learning curve. Is this really true?
I don't think so.

Let's put it this way:

K&R is 272 pages and covers essentially all of C.

Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language is 1376 pages, and doesn't even begin to cover all the complexities and nuances of modern C++.

Probably the only person who really knows C++ is Scott Meyers
