    The following little tidbit from my inbox: http://www.artima.com/cppsource/top_cpp_people.html[^] Enjoy all...but especially you C++ folk. And, I ask you, why are Nish and Tom not listed?

      I'm not disagreeing with the list, but I do find it a bit odd that Scott Meyers includes himself on the list. Yeah, I'm sure he's not full of himself. :rolleyes:

          Where are the mentions to Ken Thompson[^], Dennis Richie[^] and Brian Kernighan[^]? They're the creators of Unix and C. And the popularity of these 2 technologies was essencial for the success of C++.

          Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church.

                Does he think he is part of the Partridge family with that hairdo?

                  This is the second time this week I've read something about a C++ guy talking about the most important C++ things and including himself. Will Mr Meyers please get a haircut? Like, seriously.

                  cheers, Chris Maunder
