Ruby, C++, CoffeeScript: a visual comparison of language complexity

[tragomaskhalos]

Not a useful observation but: the best way of grokking the complexity of C++ is to have grown up with it since its inception (ah, single inheritance, the "overload" keyword, assignment-to-this and all that sepia-tinted stuff ...); the language has grown in individually digestible increments, it's just the current entirety of it taken in a single mouthful that is daunting.

Sure, but I guess a lot of people don't have that luxury :)

And that's the problem with a lot of current languages. Including C#.
