Yeah, well, modern C++ doesn't add anything that affects 
performance bottle necks in a negative way. Sounds like he has 
talked with someone that has started coding before they knew what 
the requirements should be. C++ does not support evolutionary 
development… you have to know what you are going to do before you 
start coding.
