The Magic of Unity Builds

I realise that as time goes by, people are using my beloved C++ less and less. .NET (C# and VB.NET) and Java seem to be taking over the mainstream coding world. Languages such as Ruby and Python seem to be taking over the scripting world. For the most part, C and C++ seem to exist only in the gaming/entertainment, real-time and driver worlds.

In many colleges and univerties C++ is no longer taught as a core subject (along with Assembly language) which I find quite galling. It's a great language to learn, even if you never use it again. But the purpose of this post is not to preach the virtues and failures of the C++ language, but instead to talk about something that might aid those people who are using C++.
