Do not remember who told it:
First rule of code optimization, don't do it.
Second rule of code optimization (only for experts), don't do it yet.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Interesting that the quote on the page linked to above is "Jackson's Rules of Optimization: Rule 1. Don't do it. Rule 2 (for experts only). Don't do it yet - that is, not until you have a perfectly clear and unoptimized solution."

C++ - An object oriented programming language

I know the quote is tongue in cheek but this always gets my BAC up.

To say C++ is an object oriented language

A) misses the fact that it's also a generic programming language (as in GP), a procedural language, and now (finally) a functional language. C++ is one of the few major languages out there that can basically do it all.

B) specifically ignores GP and metaprogramming (template, constexpr, et al) which makes C++ unique among major languages as far as I know. This despite this stuff underpinning a major C++ component - the STL.

C) encourages new C++ users to think about C++ in a very limited (albeit familiar) fashion.

Fancy some Häggis Dazs[^] Scottish ice cream?

Or eco friendly Gorilla Glue[^] perhaps?

I can almost see the Gorilla Glue coming true.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I say feed and provide water to those protesters, but don't remove them. Their own embarrassment will put an end to their protests.

I wouldn't bother feeding them; after all, they willfully brought it upon themselves.

Their deaths would raise average human intelligence by a fraction of a point, and probably contribute more to the fight against global warming than anything else they did.

Minor spoiler: have heard this word more than 40 years ago in a Botany class. But yes, this is almost a proper noun.
