C++

C++ programs written where the writer has a basic grasp of object orientation are far more secure and reliable than equivalent C programs.

Compare std::string to char*. std::string always cleans up it's own memory in any situation, allocates the right amount every time. char*, you might forget to free, or double free, or not allocate enough memory. Whoops. Basic logic says that C++ programs are better and more secure than C programs.

You forgot the "if you're retarded" qualifier in both X and Y.

A five year old finds a book where there's one sentence per page, with illustrations, written in excessive detail, easier to understand than a normal book, but a non-retarded grown up person understands normal books just fine, while dilution and details in kids' books make them harder to read. You waste too much time turning pages, for one thing.

Same with programming languages: if you're retarded, you want to be held by the hand and walked through every detail every time. "This is Pyotr. Pyotr is a piglet. Piglet Pyotr is driving a tractor. The tractor is stolen. Pigled Pyotr has stolen the tractor that he is driving." Thus, languages like C, Java. When you're not retarded, you understand what's up the first time or even implicitly, and all this endless repetition only distracts and hides bugs.

I don't expect a retard to know the difference between brevity and intentional obfuscation like in Intercal, though: both are equally confounding for the poor goy.
