90% of people who I come in contact with that claim to know c++: "Hey, I know C++! malloc, strlen, memcpy! Oh and std::cout."

The article sums this up nicely. Pure, idiomatic C++ is beautiful but too many people are stuck using the C constructs when they should be using C++ alternatives.



All true. But I was wondering where the closing line to "Adam lay ybounden". I can translate it literally, but don't understand the cultural context.
