Well rdc, though im bit sad about your decision, i do understand it pretty well. FB had it's glory moments but to be honest, it has not been interesting one for me for a long time due several reasons. What you mentioned rings my bells too beside of few other issues.
I think I know what you mean by other issues. That was a big factor for me as well.
For curiosity, why C++ and not C? Though C++ is more advanced and a great programmer like you propably gets 10 times more fun out of it than from C.
Since C++ supports C, you can get the best of both worlds. Most libs though are C++ nowadays so it just makes sense.
We have here a
Other programming languages subforum too, so dont be a stranger. Your knowledge and experience is something i would not want to loose from here

You know that one slipped my mind. It would be nice to have a "home". Thanks man.
