That's not the half of it. Wait till you get to virtual base classes!

But you might want to add "fool around with Python" to your to-do list.
Python is a dynamically typed language, much more similar in spirit to IDL
but with a more (shall we say) *coherent* design. And the entry barrier is
low: installing the Python interpreter and writing a little script to
process some text should take only an hour or two.
