Lord help me I'm starting to enjoy coding in C++.
I find myself saying "if you're writing *that* kind of C++ you've done something wrong at the design stage"
I caught myself feeling grateful that the language punishes you with unreadability and untestability when you do too much in one function
Is this... Stockholm Syndrome?
