I'd love to have some word about it from the editor, P.J. Plauger. I'm pretty sure the reason is poor management. It was why C++ Report died.

Give me a break. DDJ is a magazine about nothing. Articles published there are rarely worth reading. I receive it for free and I don't even care to read it. DDJ is like Software Development magazine with slightly more technical content. CUJ on the contrary was good. I read two thirds of it and find it quite useful. I guess it's time to buy CUJ CD. Since the magazine went defunct, the CD containing all of its issues is gonna be valueable.

You can't compare C++ to FORTRAN.
