As a professional programmer, I am delighted at the turn toward more in-depth and technical reports on trends, alliances, hardware, software, and standards. However, I was disappointed that you only allotted one page to the differences between Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 and Borland C++ 4.5 (News & Views, November 1994), especially since it affects so many programmers. I'm looking forward to a feature soon on the lowdown between all the compilers.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
