*nod, nod*

Any task has an inherent level of complexity. That complexity can be 
either be in the language, or in the user code. Your choice.

And then there's C++ which manages to CREATE extra needless complexity 
on both sides, thereby falsely convincing entire generations of 
programmers that langauge complexity is inherently bad. No, it's 
*unnecessary* complexity that's bad.

*Exactly* what led me to D, too. :)
