Yeah, started it 15 months ago after 6 years C programming, never looked back.

Applications are designed and implemented faster, code size and execution speed
similar (sometimes better, sometimes worse), orders of magnitude improvement in
maintenance ... fun, too.

It's a bit of a culture shock after C. The familiarity of the syntax lures you
into thinking you know it already, but the OOP paradigm requires a completely
different approach. It's great.

Wanna make something of it? :)
