The C+@ Programming Language (1993) (drdobbs.com)

I remember this - by the mid-late 90s, Jim Fleming, the author of this article, had gone completely off the deep end on Usenet, ranting about C++ success vs how C+@ was being sidelined.

"It has a simple syntax with emphasis on graphics. It was originally used for prototyping of telecommunication services."

Wow, somebody used it for something. I was under the impression C+@ was never more than half finished. Fleming would claim to run master classes in C+@ from his yacht in the Caribbean, but nobody seemed to have ever taken the classes or seen the compiler, or anything.
