I’m not big on super wonky interview questions, but when I interviewed engineering candidates at Apple, one of the advanced questions I occasionally liked to trot out was about ways to use object oriented techniques in a non-object oriented language like C (if you’re wondering what I was getting at with this, take a look at the OO-like conventions employed by Apple’s straight C Core Foundation frameworks).
I always liked this question because if someone did well on it, they demonstrated three things:
- A good grasp of C.
- A deep understanding of object oriented programming.
- An appreciation for the fact that (as I said on Twitter today) there is no “magic” in programming—that everything is basically an abstraction built on top of lower level abstractions.

The Internet’s Population Doubled Over the Last Five Years
Royal Pingdom susses out some interesting trends about the world’s 2.27 billion Internet users:
- Africa has gone from 34 million to 140 million, a 317% increase.
- Asia has gone from 418 million to over 1 billion, a 143% increase.
- Europe has gone from 322 million to 501 million, a 56% increase.
- The Middle East has gone from 20 to 77 million, a 294% increase.
- North America has gone from 233 to 273 million, a 17% increase.
- Latin America (South & Central America) has gone from 110 to 236 million, a 114% increase.
- Oceania (including Australia) has gone from 19 to 24 million, a 27% increase.
They also note that Asia’s Internet population is almost double the entire Internet population was in 2007.

TL;DR
I want there to be a well-defined small subset of C++ that is sufficient for writing large maintainable structured code (i.e. it has features like classes and exceptions), but does not allow all the bells and whistles that tempt C++ programmers into writing unreadable, unmaintainable and…
