    no framework at the moment, just API, will be developing framework for SQ soon enough
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    The last time I actually wrote anything, I used my own framework.

    Will probably be using the .NET framework in future though

    I think .NET looks good though, a lot better than MFC and way easier to use.

    Not to mention being fairly quick, not much performance impact that I noticed.
