Comments? Is this heading in the right direction?
I have just a couple of comments:
- "less program bugs" should be "fewer program bugs," or just "fewer bugs"
Fixed.
- using boost doesn't eliminate reinvention of the wheel, it just reduces it; at least, that is, until boost contains libraries for doing everything that someone else has already implemented ;-)
Fixed.
- The quote from Stroustrup has too many ellipses for my tastel; it reminds me of a movie advertisement that quotes some critic as saying "... A spectacular .... success" or "Two ... thumbs ... up ... !"
Agreed. I've lengthened the quote a bit to eliminate all except the last ellipse. Thanks for the help, --Beman
