> That would be Dean. He's...indisposed at the moment and won't be joining the discussion. But his "knowing" Stroustrup was limited to email exchanges, and it's common knowledge that Bjarne Stroustrup is good about answering his email.
Yes. We pretty much established that he only thought he knew Stroustrup

That was one of the reasons, sure. :) Of course, I'm realistic enough to know that I was unlikely to be able to do it. While a few parts of my implementations were better, some were worse, and the majority showed a negligable difference. The result proves little more than I'm no better or worse than whoever wrote the code I compared against. It's a bit of a slap in the face seeing as how I have a massive ego. ;)
Considering that it was you against a team of programmers, I'd say you fared well enough.Quote:
