    Bridged forums can be annoying when they're not done right, but they can
    also be a good way to join two small communities into one. Is there some specific group you'd like to bridge to another forum?

    While its certainly possible to become an expert in C and know the entire language, I'm not sure its possible - at least for a human - for modern C++.
