  Why they were using C++ for that type of software is beyond me, 
I'd rather use Haskell if latency & throughput aren't my main 
concerns.

  The paper he referenced in regards to prototyping is from 1994. 
I'm not even sure if C++ has STL at that point. Which makes it 
pretty well meaningless.

  In the end all this really says is that legacy C++ is 
terrible(which it is), it doesn't really apply to C++14. Also the 
tooling advantage C++ has over Haskell or D is pretty wide--
