in reply to Re: Re: I don't use printf enough
in thread I don't use printf enough

Presumably, he/she finds it ironic beacuse
cout << "text text " << obj.method1() << " more text " << end1;
is like using string concatenation in Perl. The root node says to use printf sometimes. printf is a C function, yet it would not be the preferred way of doing things in C.

So to prefer printf in Perl when something like the above (preferred) C snippet exists, is ironic.
