We write real software that does real work in the real world in C++.

Now, if that means the people who are writing it aren't "real programmers", then you and I have different definitions of "real".

New I just want to point out
that the quote ends before the slight at "real" programmers. Not my words.

The rest of my observation stands - really smart people like C++ because its an interesting intellectual challenge (read REALLY HARD) to write something reliable and correct.

Not that you care - you've picked your poison - good luck.
