I have just a couple of comments:

- "less program bugs" should be "fewer program bugs," or just "fewer bugs"

- using boost doesn't eliminate reinvention of the wheel, it just reduces it; at
least, that is, until boost contains libraries for doing everything that someone
else has already implemented ;-)

- The quote from Stroustrup has too many ellipses for my tastel; it reminds me
of a movie advertisement that quotes some critic as saying "... A spectacular
.... success" or "Two ... thumbs ... up ... !"
