Had a workmate who apparently was real good at using C for microprocessor  
programming.
But he didn't have the slightest clue about how C++ works and what OOP  
overhead really means.
And when I used Lua to create a small conversion script (which was only  
needed cause the legacy code was crap, hardcoded paths and the like)
that even turned into some kind of running gag.
I don't need to say that nobody had ever heard of it nor was anyone  
willing to try it out before judging.
