Lol. I associate C++ with that. Turns out the first big C++ project I was involved with had a lot of research types. To their credit, when they did something it was almost always the best thing to do. But there was A LOT of thought and discussion put into each line of code.

For a decade I thought about C++ as being "the language for people who are forced to think long and hard about every line of code."

And then I saw "normal" C++ code everyone else was writing...

I now sort of like it (C++), especially after recent language additions.
