bloatware (was RE: Linux Programmer)

C++ is not bloated. It is what you do with it may or may
not be that way. If you use a lot of templates and use
code generating tools instead of real programming you
going to get bloated product, but if you tweak and optimize
the code, and if you remove the fat left by the tools you
can get mean lean fast and stable piece of a product.
