Again, maybe that's right but nonetheless what I talk about are very
important topics.

So what? They don't teach C++ in universities anymore so I'm trying to
reverse the trend.

It's bad for the economy and maintenance as well because Python is not
backwards / forward compatible which creates a disaster waiting to happen.

I wanted to strengthen one's arguments here and at the same time get
your perspective in return because you guys have smart arguments in general.

Again, I've been commenting for ages in these mailing lists so me and my
business are not new. I'm just trying to "un-obscure" facts that might
help debate C++ against Python developers for the greater good of our
ecosystem. If we don't talk about that then C++ will slowly die in the egg.

I also want to open source a concurrent cyclic container header I wrote
for my employer so I'm planning to contribute down the road.
