Hey Len!

Yeah, I totally agree. But C and C++ are similar. My point was that
programming as a sphere is not homogeneous. You can be a great database
programmer, but not know how to code graphics, for example.

Also, actual work of course helps. I would have to think how to formulate
my thought more carefully.
