Ion: Cross-platform OpenGL library from Google

I have seen the C sub-community of C++ obsessed with things like what makes the compiler generate more optimized code, i++ or i = i + 1.

This goes for every code line that one writes, most of the time backed up by urban legends and popular beliefs instead of profiling the code.

Whereas other programming languages cultures, tend have a more meaningful approach to optimizing software.

I know a guy who works at an airline company. He's porting all the C++ and assembly code to 64 bit architecture. He genuinely did not know C++ was a seperate language from C.

To be fair, he shamelessly bragged about getting the job through nepotism.
