I don't like the way he trotted out the old "C++ will always beat Java/C# in speed" line. It ain't necessarily so.

Besides that, this article is full of great advice.

It's not very smart of him to do that, because you can bet half the discussions about the article will focus on it and completely miss the point.

And anyway, C is faster. Or Assembly. So it's not even worth to sacrifice half of the discussion he generates.
