He seems to think C++ is about programming in some sort of Java 
design pattern inspired way.

1. He references Design patterns during his tirade against C++, 
who the hell uses design patterns in C++ these days?
2. He uses Ogre, a 15 year old terrible mess of a rendering 
engine, written in a nasty Java style, as an example of why C++ 
is bad
