Cure For Cancer

CureForCancer is used sarcastically to refer to a software development language and/or methodology touted as a panacea. The epithet tends to be applied to languages that are both big and popular. The CeeLanguage may be popular, but because it's so terse, nobody really calls it a CureForCancer --- they just resent it. CeePlusPlus, on the other hand, can get tagged. -- PeteBessman

Of course, others think that C++ is the disease... :)
