"...just use a good subset that leaves the crap behind... let the gurus rea=
ch a consensus on best practices, then follow those" (Paul)

You are right, that works in a present day academic setting, which is the t=
opic. Thanks for straighten me up. I apologize for the entropic view from h=
istory, and from industry where this would only works as long you have a re=
al guru around (the one in a million programmer), or Stroustrup, Alexandres=
cu, and Meyers agree, the rest of the team are unspoiled beginners, and the=
re's no legacy code (pre C++11/14), or else plenty of time to refactor.

(Still the bottom line remains that there's nothing to transpose from Ada.)
