Note: I've been reading "Data Structures with STL". [link\|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130289272?v=glance\|http://www.amazon.co...30289272?v=glance] Decent book. Some stupid typoes, wordos (love it when someone adds a mispelled word to the spellcheck software), and typset-softwaros though. Done a bunch of examples, and am getting a bit more comfortable with C++. While the Perl->C drop in productivity would be about 100 to 1, Perl->C++/STL will be about 20 to 1.

There are 2 other books, I'd recommend [link\|http://www.amazon.com/C%2b%2b-Standard-Library-Tutorial-Reference/dp/0201379260/sr=1-1/qid=1158270515/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4268238-1448904?ie=UTF8&s=books\|http://www.amazon.co...4?ie=UTF8&s=books] and [link\|http://www.amazon.com/STL-Tutorial-Reference-Guide-Programming/dp/0201379236/sr=1-3/qid=1158270515/ref=pd_bbs_3/102-4268238-1448904?ie=UTF8&s=books\|http://www.amazon.co...4?ie=UTF8&s=books] But, C++ with STL allows most of the data constructs that PERL allows (just not the RE and modules. <sigh>)
Post #267,556 by broomberg 9/14/06 6:20:06 PM Reply	No it doesn't But, C++ with STL allows most of the data constructs that PERL allows (just not the RE and modules. <sigh>) Or if it did, it is so damn picky and wordy and painful to get from point A to point B it is just not worth it. Note: Boost libs have REGEXP but it pretty much sucks. At least a dozen lines of error prone C++ code for every line of Perl code. <sigh back> Ahh, screw it. I'll do the best I can until something better comes along.

Post #267,601 by tuberculosis 9/15/06 12:17:33 AM Reply	I am rather amused at how the C++ world has latched onto extensive use of templates to get a primitive form of duck typing - even though they insist that duck typing is dangerous and error prone.
