Brutal honesty speaks and tells me that I have a lot to learn, but it's you who have never used C++. I realize this means YOU are not as learned as myself in that area and it will be faster for me to learn to be formal that it will be for you to learn C++. You said, "If you think that publishing code is a way to communicate ideas, you have a lot to learn." I say, It is a way. I don't think its a way, I know its a way. Its not a way with you, but it is a way nonetheless and it works well with people that are learned in C++. For the unlearned, (such as yourself), I will not underestimate the value and importance of a 'white paper' that is more formal than my 'blog' and less technical than C++. Thanks for your feedback, and please forgive any brutal honesty of my own. It's all a form of poetry. I don't have it written yet, when it is complete I will value your comments. Hopefully this discussion here will help define the outline of this soon to exist formal document.

If you think that publishing code is a way to communicate ideas, you have a lot to learn. Michael Kay Saxonica |
