The C++ they teach in universities is either just C, or putting Java spin on C (C-with-classes). I've never seen a decent "modern C++" class taught in universities.

Sure, but that's nothing a few years in the real world can't fix. The point is that C++ programmers are not some rare breed of neckbeard that are gradually going extinct. They are being produced en mass.

I love that Java spin on C remark, given that stuff like Turbo Vision, MFC, OWL, PowerPlant, Motif++, CORBA, COM, VCL, SOM, CSet++, POET precede Java for several years, some almost a decade.
