C++ has much of the flavor of the original UNIX phenomenom-- it is interesting,
the source code is almost free to university hackers ($250).
Even if you don't intend to hack the source code, it leaves you a feeling
of CONTROL-- you can read it fix bugs, make inmprovements, port it to next
year's new hardware.  And like UNIX you can gripe that on a one-to-one
feature basis, some other language (e.g. Objective-C) might be better, but
the sum of features is not.
