  1. Personally, I hate the ambiguity in parsing either C or C++ in terms of grouping tokens. Consider that if you separate all the plusses with a space the answer will be 5, and if you use no spaces it'll be an error. For my own language I made the space integral to correct parsing, so if you use x+++ ++y, in C and C++ both it would be 6 while in my own language it would still be an error. This does also enable me to come up with novel operators by merely adding more together, so maybe people will consider it a good tradeoff, or maybe other people hated the way C and C++ did it also.

  2. This is kind of sad, but the guy can still learn. It really just shows that universities are completely useless for most degrees. More engineering based degrees and medical degrees are still good, at most universities, but things like this have all fallen apart. Unfortunately it's been this way for years. Even as far back as 20 years ago I worked with people that having just graduated from a university with a four year degree knew as much as this guy. This is why when I've been the boss I favored hiring those that are self taught.
