D&D-style map of C++

Here's a treasure-map showing the relationships of C++ and its many offshoots, proponents, clones and pretenders.

I believe I have found my new campaign setting!

#1 - So, you'll basicly be running a programmer's version of Dungeons and Discourse?

Amazing. Beautiful.

This is going to help so much with my final on Saturday.

god i hated c++ at university.

I'm pretty sure it was programming that sent me screaming from the altar of science into the wishwashy world of 3d animation.

Where be Dragons?

Anybody know what program they used to make the map?

Funny that the Memory Management Desert contains references to malloc, realloc and free ... but not new and delete.

I need a poster of this.

Did somebody make this? Just go to the library.

It's illegal to make maps anyway. Something will change. Whatever. The system admins always know when map making is going on, so I don't even try it. What's good is actually to use a map from a different city, graph it onto the grid and distribute it freely.

Haha! Bjarne is SAURON, hiding out in the Necromancer's tower under Mirkwood, see it?

Presumably he's torturing Thorin Oakenshield's relatives in there.

C++ is history repeated as tragedy. Java is history repeated as farce.

Java: the best argument for Smalltalk since C++

Wow.. this is some -serious- geekery.
Much too geeky for me, I fear.

Needs an object graveyard with lots of zombies.

Where's the Dragon you ask? C++ IS the Dragon! The Dragon Slayers don't appear on the map (yet?).

I'm disappointed Qt wasn't depicted as a Viking ship...

It's more Tolkein than D&D, but whatever ...

Dude, real dungeons and dragons maps were made with graph paper, this is more of a LOTR style map. Yes, my geek cred is higher than yours

You didn't even vote good on the original post. :(
