"C++ is a distinctly dumb thing to build a career around."
For that matter, so is Ruby, Rails, Python, and everything else that's popular today.
In ten years, everyone will be using Blub, and badmouthing those dumb ol' guys who were slogging around in Ruby. It's the one thing in life I can guarantee.
