This the story about Mortamer, Elvis, and Einstien? :-)

Indeed, those are the names. I can't resist making jokes about those names, so I avoid talking about them in public forums. :-)

I don't think you can generalize programmers that easy. I fit into every condition for a C++ programmer you mentioned except reading ASM code. The only reason I don't fit there is because I've never learned or used it. I fit into this C++ programmer model, yet I've never been exposed to C++ either. I can somewhat agree with what you've said because this filter seems to work for most, but remember those exceptions out there. :)

I knew that this sounds stupid, but how many people were involved in building Microsoft Visual C++

I just wanted to say that I glad that some people still see the power of C++ over other languages. Being a C++ programmer I understand the power this lanuage provides. I keep fearing the day that I might have to move to Java or C# ( the better choice of the two). I can't help feeling that these languages (Java and C#) are more fragile programming lanuages and in general a step backwards in language design. I am glad that MS can see the power and has the vision to make C++ even more powerful and useful.

C++ offers all kinds of useful stuff.

The dreaded multiple inheritance. Sometimes interfaces just don't cut it. (And no I don't think multiple inheritance is harmful.)

It can also interface directly with C code, global functions, permit inline assembly, handle lots of binary data (sometimes carelessly) interpreted as arrays of structs, etc.
