Thanks, Ali.

Yeah, early C++ was C, watched it evolve. Programming in Forth, 
C, Icon during those years.  Found, find, C++ too hot for most to 
handle, so why?

And yes, I'd agree that Walter's native C++ compiler was the big 
ticket item, in C++ evolution.

And a deeper thanks, Ali, for the book.

Just in case you ever want to try Unicon programming, or need to 
glue to some COBOL data, I put these on offer, umm, meaning free.

- Unicon Programming <https://unicon.sourceforge.io/up/>
- GnuCOBOL FAQ <https://gnucobol.sourceforge.io/faq/index.html>

Hoping those might let me return the favour for your D book. Nice 
work. ;-)

Have good.
