That's really more my gripe. Not that C++ is more buggy. It's that it's 
less easy to notice, track down the source of, or repair a bug. I make 
lots of buggy code as I'm developing. Making non-buggy code in a 
language with no support for knowing you made a bug takes me much much 
longer than finding the bug the first time I run the code I've written.

     being export-restricted?
