Good Fucking Grief!!!

This Core Guidelines document would take weeks to read and understand. And much longer than that to remember. There are hundreds of recommendations in the document. Talk about brain overload!

This document reinforces the notion that C++ is scary as hell.

To use Smalltalk well does not require such a voluminous core guidelines document because it’s a much, much smaller and simpler language. There is very little, if any, cognitive friction to using Smalltalk. Using C++ is like pulling yourself across the Sahara.
