Take it off :)
I've been using C for several years, so the step to C++ was a small
one. Before i started to work as a software developer i've studied
physics, so the math and physics used in POV-Ray were no problem for
me. The latter was the main reason to play around with the POV-Ray
code: I was going to lose all my math knowledge completely.
