Comment I stopped trying to know all of C++ (Score 1) 345

I started playing with C++ when I when into college in 1991. At one point I probably would have qualified as more or less a C++ expert. Then, as the language grew more and more insanely complex with each revision, I stopped trying to keep up on the whole language.

Nowadays I'm content to just make sure I understand the subset I normally use, read up when I come across a part I don't use, and ignore the rest. For my own programming, at least, the language has simply become too complex to be worth mastering.

Since you started quoting, (as a Greek) i like to quote something a bit older: the (about 2 milleniums old) Latin "verba volant, scripta manent" - roughly translated by me to English as "spoken words fly, written words stay".

It's funny that you're a Greek repeating a Latin quote. Glad to see someone remembers who won in the Battle of Corinth!
