Billy Hollis has posted his very meant-to-be-sarcastic history of the C Family of languages:
1990 – By this time, all C compilers have turned into C++ compilers. But, since most C++ programs do not use any of the object oriented features of the language, this means in practical terms that bloated code structures with pointers into the operating system are now being compiled with an object-oriented compiler.
Very funny read.
