Yeah... nar. Not really. Every line of code is at least 3-4 times as
long as it needs to be. It's virtually impossible to see the code
through the syntactic noise.
I like nullptr, I can get behind that ;)

I realised within minutes that it's almost impossible to live without slices.
On the plus side, I've already made lots of converts in my new office
from my constant ranting :P
