    An odd thing to find in a programming book.

    I was looking for a certain term in the OpenGL Programming Guide (Red Book) and found these two entries

    C
    God's Programming Language

    C++
    The object-oriented programming language of a pagan deity
    should I be shocked?

    No. I think there are quite a few instances of such ... humour ... in the red book.
