Don't know this book, but I agree about C++ unreadability.

You can call that personal taste. Having to explicitly inform the scope
of the variables I'm reading from/writing to is just an waste of key
hits. But that's just my point of view, and I'll try to address it with
setfenv like Adam suggested, at least until I can find another language
that has most nice features of Lua (maily small size and easy to embed)
*and* is OO.
