C++ Style at Kuro5hin

It discusses reducing build dependencies, choices for storage and representation
of data, and some apparently controversial practices I use for performance
tuning (studying the assembly output from compiling one's code).
K5 is a rather good community site that covers a wide range of topics, not just
programming. It's more intelligent than some of the communities I've
participated in, although it does have its trolls.
Sadly, many of the responses to my article are from people who dislike C++. It
would be nice if more people who actually used the language were to participate
in the discussion.

As a person who uses the language, I see no point in expending energy on
most people who replied to your article. I agree with you, but I really
don't see what good it's going to do to add to a language religious war.

Rather what I hoped was that people would join and discuss the finer points of
C++, or ask questions.

In a forum in which your message generate 80+% of troll responses, I
doubt that it's possible to have a conversation about that with a
reasonable signal/noise ratio. Just my opinion, of course.
